Instructions
Prepare Flax Egg
Mix ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken into a gel. This vegan egg replacement adds moisture and binding power to create the ideal chewy texture.
Cream Butter and Sugar
Beat the softened vegan butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl using a hand mixer for about 2 minutes until fluffy and combined. Add the flax egg and mix until incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour cinnamon baking soda and a pinch of salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the oats and raisins using a spatula.
Bake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the sheets spacing 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your palm. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are golden.
Rest and Enjoy
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them. They will appear soft and underdone when you first pull them out but they set up perfectly as they rest on the warm pan.
