Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Print Recipe
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, or oat flour (or ½ and ½ all-purpose flour and oat flour)
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ½ cup granulated brown sugar
  • ¼ cup guava jam, or other jam of your choice
  • ½ cup non-dairy butter or margarine, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon powder
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In one bowl, add the butter, sugar, jam and vanilla extract and blend using a hand-held electric mixer (or other mixer) to blend completely.
  • In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients together – flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats and raisins – with a spoon our your hand.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the bowl containing the wet ingredients, and mix with a wooden spoon (or any spoon) to create the cookie dough.
  • Roll the dough into balls and add to the baking sheet, and lightly flatten to shape. Makes 6 – 8 cookies (about 2 tbsp each).
  • Bake the cookies until slightly browned, for about 15 – 20 minutes.
  • Remove trays from the oven and carefully transfer cookies (use a flat spatula) to another tray and let cool for 5 minutes (cookie will firm up a bit for a nice slightly crunchier texture).
  • Serve immediately.
  • Store cookies in a sealed container for about 2 weeks.
