An old-fashioned cookie that everyone enjoys. Feel free to use less sugar.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup salted butter, or non-dairy alternatives such as coconut oil, softened
  • 1-2 cups sucanat or brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons homemade vanilla extract
  • 2 whole large eggs, or powdered eggs and water
  • 1½ cup whole wheat flour, or gluten-free baking mix
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups rolled oats, gluten free if needed
  • 1 cup organic raisins, dairy-free chocolate chips, or other cookie add-ins
  • If dough is too crumbly, add ¼ - ½ cup milk, non-dairy milk, or juice.
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Cream butter and sugar together until nice and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients and add-ins and add them to the butter mixture. Mix well, but don't overmix.
  4. We like to make BIG cookies, so we use an ice cream scooper for the cookie batter. Place the mounds on parchment paper or an oiled cookie sheet. Do not place them too close together, they DO spread out.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. They will stiffen up as they cool.
  6. Let cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
