Cinnamon-Raisin Oatmeal Cookies - The Best Ever!

Usually I only post Vegan recipes, but I just had to post this one. I was asked to make this recipe because apparently it was so good. Well, it is!

There is so much Oatmeal in these cookies, they're almost a health food, haha. At first they look very rich and heavy, but the texture is very light and crispy. It was really surprising to everyone how they turned out. They are no too sweet, you may need to add 1/4 cup of sugar in addition to the regular amount if you like really sweet cookies.

To make it VEGAN: Use an Egg Replacer. I put a picture of my favorite brand, so you can find it in the store easily. Also, use Earth Balance Margarine instead of butter.

Step 1: Ingredients

3/4 c Butter (or Earth Balance Maragrine to make it Vegan)
1 c Sugar
1 egg (or Egg Replacer to make it Vegan)
1 ts Vanilla
3/4 c Flour
1 ts Baking Soda
1/2 ts Baking Powder
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Cinnamon
Pinch of Nutmeg (optional)
3 c Oats
1/2 c Raisins

mine didnt even go in for 15 mins and then they started smoking and they were totally burnt. i could only eat part of the top off... why did this happen. i am very upset because i used alot of oats and they are now wasted ish. i took them out to check at 10 min and the top was raw and then i put them in and they were BURNT!!!

It's possible that your oven temperature is fluctuating (this is way more common than you might think). Sometime, buy one of those little oven thermometers (they look like a little alarm clock to me)-- and some evening, set your oven to various temperatures (with the thermometer inside) and see if the oven is accurate. Your oven may be stable at some temps, and unstable at others.

It can also help to cook them on parchment paper, rather than a greased cookie sheet.

I recently bought a new set of cookie sheets and nothing has burned ever again.
I also have a new oven (convection) which is of much aid as well.
Thanks for the reply.

Might be a problem with your oven. Try heating it with a thermometer an see if there is a big difference, once the oven is at the proper temp. - bri <3

Thanks for the reply, although I know my oven is problematic now, it was working perfectly fine in December of last year.

How long should I bake them if I have an oven that can only go up to 250 C? Thank you upfront ;)

Less oats and freeze the dough to bake next day.

When I used to use the recipe from the oatmeal container, I never found it necessary to decrease the oats. I don't know why. Now I have my own recipe that I created that I've never frozen, so I don't know if you need to decrease the oats.
I may have to create a couple of instructionals about cooking. It was my major hobby for 14 years, so I have a couple of recipes.

I add chopped pecans also and a little more raisins. Like you said, it becomes a health food.

 Awesome cookies. I have been making them about a month now and they always get compliments. So thank you for sharing your recipe.

Outstanding!  Although I may use a little less oats next time just to see if it's better, or maybe add some golden syrup for a stickier cookie?  My husband is looking very happy now so thumbs up from him too, thanks!
