Chewy, Spicy Oatmeal Raisin CookiesIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 cup soy margarine (230g)
1 cup packed brown sugar (or equiv. non-sugar sweetener + 1/4 cup molasses) (220g)
1/2 cup sugar (or equivalent non-sugar sweetener) (100g)
2 Ener-G egg substitute eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla (5mL)
1.5 cups flour (190g)
1 teaspoon baking soda (5g)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (5g)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (1g)
1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
3 cups rolled oats (245g)
1 cup raisins (145g)
Directions:This began as a non-vegan recipe. I thought that the combination of spices sounded good, so I changed it a bit to make a vegan version. I've been very pleased with the results!
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Mix up the eggs. Cream wet ingredients together with a whisk or sturdy fork. Add dry ingredients and mix well, mixing in oats and raisins last. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets (the cookie sheets don't knead to be greased first). Bake 9-10 minutes, until a little golden. Be careful not to over bake.
Serves: about 24 cookies (I think)
Preparation time: 30 min prep, 10 min baking
Thanks for putting the recipe in metric as well as imperial - most of the world appreciates it (remember that the United States is the only industrialised country which doesn't use metric units -

Canadians don't use metric for recipes either. But that's probably only because were so close to the US.

I thought these were delicious! They turned out nice and chewy too. Only thing is, I got about 48 cookies out of this...Not that I'm complaining! Trust me, this is a good thing! I made mine with different combinations of raisins, dried cranberries, cashews, candied ginger, and carob chips. My personal favorites were the raisin, cranberry, cashew ones.

Wow.......so good.......I did have to cook them for almost 15 mins thou......and the recipe made about 42......but my cookie sizes aren't consistent.....so I would say 48 is about right. Thanks for sharing this!!! Cant wait for my family to taste them.

I used a small bit of apple souce rather then the fake eggs. We live in a small town and so we don't get alot of vegan items persay but the stores are getting better. I also added a few diffrent kinds of nuts. And I found that when I took them out of the oven and they were still warm my younger brother wanted to put peanut butter on them..and wow it tasted so great! (I used all organic items) Thanks for the recipe..we have it hanging in our kitchen on a bullentin board!
