Vegan Oatmeal Cookies


Ingredients


Wet: #1 Mix these together and let sit for a few minutes.


(1 cup instant oats, ( or use 1 cup Country Choice Organic Hot Cereal Multi Grain- has rolled Rye, Barley, Oats and Wheat. (Available at Trader Joes and Lassens)1/2 c. applesauce 1/4 c. blackstrap molasses 3/4 c. maple syrup, Grade B 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 c. raisins

Dry: #2 Mix the dry ingredients together next.


1.5 c. spelt flour or whole wheat flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice / or 1 tsp. cinnamon

Tip #3 Cookie dough is very moist. Don't panic , the cookie dough is very moist. Don't add more cereal (big mistake I did that once). Just put them on the lined cookie sheets. But do check on the time carefully at 12 minutes the undersides should be brown and the tops should be a bit soft if not a few minutes more.


Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients which includes the oats or the multi grain rolled cereal and stir until "just mixed." Scoop dough onto a cookie sheet (*about 2 tbsp per cookie) and bake at 350 F for 12-15 min. You can make cookies smaller about 1 tbsp they will take around 12 minutes to cook.


Additional information for that perfect cookie
Add more spices! Try allspice, cloves, ground ginger or cardamom. The first time you try them, start with only 1/4 tsp, then taste the cookie dough and add more if desired.

These sound amazing! Very similar to ones that I make. (I add walnuts and raisins) I am definitely going to make these, but first I am trying out the ones in the book! Thanks for sharing.
