Big & Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 12 large cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 c Vegan Margarine softened to room temperature
- 1/2 c Brown Sugar
- 1/4 c White Sugar
- 1/4 c Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 tbsp Molasses OR Date Syrup
- 3/4 c All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 c Rolled Oats
- 1 tsp Cinnamon or more to taste
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 3/4 c Raisins or more to taste
- Chopped Walnuts optional add-in
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the softened vegan margarine, both sugars, the applesauce and molasses.
- Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl with a whisk.
- Beat the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture until combined.
- Fold in the raisins by hand.
- Using a cookie scoop, make mounds on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and using the bottom of a drinking glass, press lightly to flatten.
- Bake the cookies until set on top (they will still be soft) and the bottom and edges are golden brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet until set enough to transfer to a cooking rack. They will set up as they cool and you don't want to over bake or they won't be chewy.
- Baking time will vary based on the size you make the cookies. Mine took nearly 20 minutes, but all oven temperatures vary so keep an eye on them.
