Equipment
- Cookie sheet
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- ¾ cup vegan butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare the baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer), cream together the vegan butter and the brown sugar.
- Add the molasses and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda and mix until combined.
- Fold in the oats and the raisins. It might be easier to use your hand to mix everything together.
- Roll the dough into balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 13 minutes. Take the pan out and let the cookies rest for about 3 minutes before placing on the wire rack to cool completely. The cookies hold their round shape. If you want a flatter cookie, gently press down with the back of a spoon once they're out of the oven.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days.
Notes
-
- You'll notice that the cookies have a round appearance when taken out of the oven. If you prefer a flatter cookie, use the back of a spoon and gently press down on the cookies just a little bit. You can do this once they're out of the oven but before you put them on the cooling rack.
-
- Do not overmix the dough.
