Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This Recipe Is:

By
WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com

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. 

Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine the first five ingredients in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, beating to combine.
  5. When the dough is smooth, add in the rolled oats and raisins by hand, and mix well.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Using a thin spatula, remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip
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.
