Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 baking sheets.
In a large bowl combine oil, milk, sweetner, and almond/vanilla extract, and mix thoroughly. Sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and spices. Mix until dough begins to form. Fold in all the oats along with raisins (and optional chocolate chips).
With your hands roll the dough into small balls and place onto cookie sheet, then slightly flatten with your palm or a spoon. Bake for approximately 13-15 minutes, until cookies have spread and are lightly brown. Remove from oven, and let cool.
