Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup golden raisins
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure out all ingredients precisely to ensure consistent cookie texture.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon (natural), baking soda, and natural gelling agent. This dry mix builds the cookie’s structure and flavor.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the sunflower oil, brown sugar (natural), unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth. This adds moisture, sweetness, and depth.
- Bring it all together: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender. Then gently fold in the golden raisins for bursts of natural sweetness.
- Form and bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges turn golden but centers remain soft. Let cookies cool on the sheet to firm up.
Notes
- Use a mix of brown sugar (natural) and applesauce for ideal moisture balance to achieve perfect chewiness.
- Remove from oven as soon as edges are golden to keep centers soft and chewy.
- Make sure wet ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing and consistent texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of fresh bread to maintain softness.
- Opt for rolled oats over quick oats for better chew and cookie structure.
