Eggless Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

(16-18 cookies)

Dry ingredients

• 2/3 cup - Whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/3 cup - Oats flour
• 3/4 tsp - Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp - Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp - Salt

Wet ingredients

• 3 Tbsp - Butter, unsalted @ room temperature
• 1/3 cup - White Sugar
• 1/2 cup - light Brown Sugar, packed cup
• 1 tsp - Vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup - Apple sauce, unsweetened
• 1 Tbsp - Flax seed powder + 3 Tbsp water

• 1 1/3 cup Rolled Oats
• 1/2 cup - Golden Raisins/Cranberries/Cherries

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment/aluminum foil.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
3. In a small bowl mix together the flax seed meal, water and heat in a microwave for 30secs. Using a fork mix it well until it resembles a beaten egg. Nuke it for 15secs more if needed. Set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar until the butter becomes smooth and fluffy. Add in the brown sugar, vanilla, applesauce, flax seed mixture and beat for a few more seconds.
5. Fold in the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula just until mixed. The oats and the raisins get folded in next.
6. Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon and place them 2" apart on the baking sheet. Using a fork flatten them out a bit.
7. Bake for about 10-12 mins until lightly golden on top and still moist & soft at the center. This will yield moist, chewy cookies, if you prefer crunchy, bake for a few more minutes.
8. Cool on a baking rack for 8-10mins and store in an air-tight container.
