Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Absolutely delicious! This fall weather makes oatmeal raisin cookies sound so good! Made this recipe last night, and they were fantastic! Crispy around the edges and chewy in the middle...

Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (makes 24)

1 cup flour (spoon flour into dry-measure cup and level off)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons refined coconut oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1½ tablespoons water + 1½ tablespoons oil + 1 teaspoon baking powder mixed together (this is in lieu of an egg)
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1/3 cup dark raisins

1/3 cup golden raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and set one rack in the middle of the oven.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the brown sugar, then the egg substitute, applesauce, and vanilla.
4. Stir in the dry ingredients, then the oats and raisins.
5. Drop the batter by rounded teaspoons 2-inches apart on the baking sheets lined with parchment or a silicone liner (I heart silpats) and use a fork to gently flatten the dough.
6. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. Rotate baking sheets during baking for even heating.

Storage: Once cool, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature if you have not eaten them all by the following morning, like my family and I did...

Enjoy!
