Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheets. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and set aside.

Stir in the oats, pecans, raisins, and chocolate chips. Drop on cookie sheet by heaping tablespoons about 2 or 3 inches apart and press dough down to about 1/2 inch thick. Bake about 6-9 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from oven and cool about 2-3 minutes before removing. Cool on wire rack.
