Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal raisin vegan cookies? Lots of baking going around here and it’s not not even the beginning of cookie season. These soft, delicious cookies are perfect for potlucks and kids. You can easily sub the flour to the flour of your choice. I prefer oat flour or whole wheat flour. If you want to add an extra zing, I would add some chocolate chips into the batter before baking. Happy baking!
