Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 5.3 oz (150 g) room-temperature vegan block butter for a buttery base
- ½ cup (100 g) soft brown sugar, adding a rich, caramel-like sweetness
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar for the perfect sweet balance
- 1 flax egg to bind the ingredients together smoothly
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, infusing the cookies with a warm, classic aroma
- 1 ⅓ cups + 1 tbsp (175 g) plain flour, creating a tender crumb
- 1 teaspoon baking soda for lift and lightness
- ½ teaspoon baking powder to ensure a perfect rise
- ½ teaspoon sea salt to enhance all the flavors
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for a hint of spice
- 1 ¼ cups (100 g) rolled oats for that satisfying chew
- ⅔ cup (100 g) raisins, adding natural sweetness and texture
Instructions:
- Warm up your kitchen by preheating the oven to a cozy 356°F (180°C). Prepare 2 baking trays by lining them with parchment for non-stick baking.
- Whip up your vegan butter in a large mixing bowl until it's light and airy, using an electric whisk or stand mixer for the task.
- Gradually cream in both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, exuding a sweet, caramel scent.
- Stir in the flax egg and vanilla extract, ensuring they're fully incorporated for a seamless dough.
- In goes the flour, along with baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gently mix to form a cohesive, aromatic dough.
- Fold in the rolled oats and raisins with care, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- With an ice cream or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto your prepared trays, spacing them out to allow for a little spreading.
- Slide into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until they're just turning golden and your kitchen smells like heaven.
- Patience is a virtue - let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes before using a cookie cutter to neaten those edges, if desired.
- Finally, transfer to a cooling rack to come to room temperature, which is the ultimate test of your willpower.
