The most delicious gluten & dairy free oatmeal raisin cookies EVER! {gf,df}

Cookies- delicious sweet treats that are universally loved. Everyone has their own interpretation when it comes to cookies; toffee chocolate chip, chili oatmeal raisin (yes I said chili), banana nut coffee, the list can go on and on. But, there is something so delicious about a simple chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookie.

Since my last oatmeal raisin cookie recipe {gf, df, healthy} I have been receiving many comments and emails asking me to create another cookie recipe because my last one was so good, and today is finally the day! After weeks of adding and subtracting different ingredients I finally cracked the code to the best oatmeal raisin cookies. So, I am pleased to announce a new recipe that is going to make a wonderful and yummy addition to my blog.

My secret: The biggest tip I can give you when baking dairy free is in the butter you use. I’ve been avoiding dairy for a few years now and have been through my fair share of vegan butters. Some taste so amazing you don’t even realize it’s not butter and others crumble, literally. Out of all the vegan butters I’ve tasted none compare to earth balance vegan butter. They by far have the best tasting vegan spreads that I have ever found.

For some more inspiration of the best vegan/dairy-free butters to use, check out my blog post – Which Vegan/dairy-free butter is the best for baking? – trying them all & my conclusion!

Okay, enough chit chat on how AMAZING this recipe is, let’s get into how to make it so you can get started baking! 🙂

Ingredients 

Yields 12-15 cookies

• 1 cup vegan butter (2 sticks) – earth balance soy free butter sticks are the best vegan butter to use in this recipe.
• 1 cup dark brown sugar – crucial step. Light brown changes the taste
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour – my favorite brand is pillsbury gluten free flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups gluten free oats- Trader Joe’s makes the best kind
• 1 full packet of 5 oz raisins

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F
2. Beat together butter and sugars then add eggs & vanilla and beat well
3. Then add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt to sugar mixture
4. Add in oats one cup at a time mixing in-between. Then add bag of raisins (or as much as you prefer)
5. Butter your baking sheet with vegan butter and place a large spoonful of batter onto the pan to create your large cookies- you can make them smaller but I prefer them larger with a softer gooey middle
6. Bake 10 to 12 minutes depending on the size of your cookies or until golden brown
7. Cool for 2 min, transfer to a plate and enjoy 🙂
