  • 1 cup vegan butter, (at room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat for about 1 minute, until fully blended and creamy.
  • Beat in the applesauce and vanilla.
  • Stir the oats into the mixture by hand.
  • Add the flour to the bowl, then sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt on top of the flour.
  • Stir the ingredients together until they're fully blended and form a dough.
  • Fold in the raisins and walnuts.
  • Roll the dough into balls, using about 3 tablespoons of dough per ball.
  • Arrange the dough balls on the baking sheets, with at least 2 inches of space between them. Flatten out each dough ball slightly with your hands or the back of a spoon. (Note 1)
  • Bake the cookies until soft and slightly browned, for about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the baking sheets to a cooling rack and allow the cookies to cool slightly before removing the from the baking sheets.
  • Serve the cookies immediately, or store them in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
