Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

These Vegan Oatmeal Cookies are fantastic!

They're perfectly crispy, yet wonderfully soft and chewy. These are a tasty, yet healthy alternative treat to other cookies out there. Best of all, these oatmeal cookies are easy to make and bake. They'll soon be a favorite at your house, apartment, tipi, yurt, tent, tree house, or other living space.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons Ener G Egg Replacer

6 tablespoons water

1 1/4 cup Earth Balance Non-Hydrogenated Spread, softened

3/4 cup turbinado sugar, or vegan dry sweetener of choice

3/4 cup Yellow D sugar (vegan brown sugar)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour (whole wheat, white, spelt, oat, whatever flour, or combination of, you prefer--I think 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 oat or white flour makes a nice cookie)

2 cups rolled oats

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup raisins

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, or liquid measuring cup, mix Egg Replacer and water until frothy, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix until creamy the Earth Balance and sugar. Add Egg Replacer/water to this mixture and stir until well combined. Add vanilla, baking soda, and cinnamon--stir until well mixed. Slowly stir in the flour, then the oats. At this point, your dough will be fairly stiff, which is perfect. Add the chocolate chips and raisins, mix until well distributed. Scoop out approximately a teaspoon-size dollop of dough and shape into a silver dollar-sized circle about 3/4 of an inch thick. Put onto an ungreased cookie sheet, about 1 to 1 1/2 dozed per batch (per baking sheet). Bake for approximately 7-8 minutes, or until a light golden brown around the edges. This makes about 3 dozen magnificent cookies.

A note about the sugars--if you can't find a vegan brown sugar, no biggie. I've made this dozens of times using just turbinado sugar(or other "white" vegan sugars), and they turn out just as tasty. Cut the sweetener amount back to a total of 1 cup if these seem too sweet. I've made these with as little as 1 cup sweetener, while increasing the raisins a bit.

A note about the chocolate chips and raisins--omit one or the other (or both if you're looking for a good old vegan oatmeal cookie). Simply double the amount of either the chocolate chips or raisins.
