Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

In all my eight-plus years of living gluten-free, this is the tastiest cookie yet. And, lucky for those of us living also dairy-free and egg-free, it's a vegan recipe to boot.
-
2/3 cup
shortening
-
1 1/2 cups
brown sugar
-
1/2 cup
unsweetened applesauce
-
2 teaspoons
bourbon vanilla extract
-
2 teaspoons
agave, or honey
-
1/2 cup
rice flour, or sorghum flour
-
1/2 cup
oat flour
-
1/2 cup
potato, or tapioca starch
-
1/4 cup
vanilla rice protein powder
-
1 teaspoon
xanthan gum
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon
allspice
-
1/2 teaspoon
fine sea salt
-
2 cups
rolled oats
-
1/2 cup
raisins
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine the first five ingredients in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, beating to combine.
- When the dough is smooth, add in the rolled oats and raisins by hand, and mix well.
- Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to measure out the dough, and using your palms make 28 to 30 round balls. Place the balls of dough on a cookie sheet about two inches apart. Don't flatten them.
- Bake in the center of a preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, until they are golden. They will be quite soft until they cool.
- Using a thin spatula, remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
I wrapped the completely cooled cookies individually in foil and saved out four for storage in the fridge; and bagged the rest in a freezer bag.
