These vegan oatmeal cookies are a yummy and nutritious treat that you can whip up in just 30 minutes. They're soft, chewy, and bursting with flavor, making them an ideal snack or dessert.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the oats with the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Make sure that everything is well integrated. Add the walnuts.
Beat. In the bowl of a mixer add the butter, and beat until creamy, add the types of sugar and applesauce. Continue beating and add the butter. (NOTE: some vegan butters may separate at this step, nothing happens. But so that it doesn't happen, try to have the ingredients at the same temperature).
Mix everything together. When everything is well integrated, add the dry ingredients and mix with a silicone spatula so that everything is well integrated. Add the raisins, mix and ready.
Form the cookies. On a large baking sheet, with baking paper or a silicone mat, place balls of dough. Separate about 2.5 cm (1 inch).
Baking. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes at a temperature of 350ºF. Remove from the oven when the edges of each cookie are golden brown; they may still be a little soft in the center, but it doesn't matter. Let cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before tasting. This is very important.
Notes
One of the great advantages of these cookies is that they are very easy to store. Once they have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container and you can enjoy them for a week. You can also freeze them to extend their shelf life.
If you decide to freeze them, be sure to separate each cookie with parchment paper so they don't stick to each other. This way, you can take out only the amount you need and leave the rest in the freezer for another time.
