Ingredients

 3/4 cup Vegan Butter

 2 cups Brown Sugar or white sugar, coconut sugar, or Sucanat.
 1/3 cup Soy Milk or any other type of plant-based milk.
 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
 2 cups Flour white, whole wheat, or half and half will work.  You can also use any grain-
based gluten-free flour mix.
 1 tsp Baking Soda
 1 tsp Baking Powder
 1 tsp Salt
 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
 3 cups Oatmeal I like to use whole oats but you can also use quick oats.  If you are
making these gluten-free make sure to use gluten-free oats.
 1/2 cup Raisins chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or anything you would like to add to the
cookies.

Instructions

1. Set the butter out to allow it to come to room temperature and preheat your oven to 350°
F.
2. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. (This whips air into it
and gives your cookie more structure).
3. Add the plant-milk and vanilla and mix on low for about 30 seconds.
4. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and mix on low for about 1
minute until all ingredients are combined.
5. Add the oatmeal 1 cup at a time, mixing between each cup.
6. Stir in your choice of raisins, chocolate chips or anything else that you would like in your
cookies.
7. Spoon 1 tbsp of dough onto an oiled cookie sheet.
 8. Bake at 350° F for 11 minutes.  (They will still look a little doughy in the middle).
9. Take out of the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before
moving to a flat surface to cool the rest of the way.
10. Store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

 Bake for 11 minutes.  They will most likely still look doughy in the center, but take them
out anyway.  They will firm up and become chewy this way.
 Cooking for more than the recommended 11 minutes will make them more brittle and
crispy.
 Spray your cookie sheet will a little oil (or rub a thin layer of oil on it) to avoid sticking.
 Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before taking them off.
 Place the cookies on a flat surface to cook completely.
 Don't add too much to the cookies.  About 1/2 cup of raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts is
enough to add flavor.  If you add too much, you won't have enough dough to hold them
together.
 Use a heavy cookie sheet or an Airbake cookie sheet to avoid burning on the bottom.
