    Tips, Tricks, & Variations

    Storing the Cookies

    You can store these cookies for up to 4 days. I suggest keeping them in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh.

    Make it Gluten Free

    If you’re following a gluten-free diet, you can substitute a gluten-free flour. Some great options are this gluten-free baking flour, oat flour, or almond flour. 

    And be sure to check out these vegan gluten-free chocolate chip cookies for another gluten free treat.

    Vegan Butter

    If you don’t have any coconut oil, you can substitute vegan butter or unsweetened applesauce. Note that cookies made with applesauce can be more dense, and you may need to adjust the cooking time.

    Swap out the Raisins

    Who doesn’t love a little more chocolate in their life? If you’re not a fan of raisins, try switching the raisins out for dark chocolate chips. Or for a fruitier treat, try using Craisins instead of raisins!

    Make Sandwich Cookies

    You can turn these into delicious oatmeal sandwich cookies pretty easily. Simply take a frosting, like this vegan buttercream frosting, and sandwich it between two cookies.

    Or do the same with your favorite ice cream for a frozen treat.

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C), and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    • In a medium bowl, add the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and almond milk. Mix with a wooden spoon.
    • Add the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and raisins into the same bowl and mix it all together to form a cookie dough.
    • Roll the dough into 12 balls and place onto the parchment lined baking tray. Press each ball a bit with a wooden spoon to help them spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
    • When you remove the cookies, they will be golden brown, but will still be very soft, which is normal. Allow them to cool on the baking tray and firm up before serving.

      I have to say, I’ve never left a review on a cooking blog before, but I just HAD to say something about these cookies. I made these for my boyfriend (they are super easy!!) and we about had a religious experience eating them. I used coconut milk instead of almond milk (tree nut allergy) and subbed maple syrup since we didn’t have any agave syrup on hand. The recipe yielded about 9 cookies for us. We ate them warm just as they came our the oven and they were INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you so much! We will be making these again and again!

      This is the very first time I have been motivated enough by a recipe to leave a review! This cookie is the most ideal texture and taste, it is simple, it is vegan, it is everything I want and need in a cookie. I am so picky about cookie texture, and this is just perfectly moist and chewy without being cakey or super dense. So many recipes claim to be "the best" and then underwhelm, but this one truly is the best! I don't know what else to say - it really is perfect.

      Super easy and so delicious. I had stop myself from eating cookie #3. I used almond flour, vegan butter since that is what I had available. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe that satisfied my cookie craving saving me a trip to the supermarket.
