I was in the mood for oatmeal raisin but then I saw the chocolate chips and slivered almonds sitting around the house leftover from my granola recipe and I thought they’d be delicious in these cookies. Luckily, I was right. Use this recipe exactly or use it as inspiration to make your own oatmeal cookie concoctions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup softened vegan buttery sticks
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
In a separate large bowl mix together the butter, sugars, applesauce, and vanilla with a hand mixer. Beat the flour mixture into the wet mixture bit by bit, then stir in the oats until well distributed. Fold in the raisins, chocolate chips, and almonds.
Spray some cookie sheets lightly and drop teaspoon-sized batter onto the sheets, spaced out evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until brown. Let cool on the sheets before moving into another container. The cookies will be soft when hot but will solidify as they cool down.
