These vegan oatmeal cookies don't just try to recreate the classic cookie—they aim to make it even better. They're an irresistibly chewy and sweet treat filled with chunks of chocolate, raisins and shredded coconut.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegan butter-style sticks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons powdered egg replacer
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup each raisins and sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream vegan butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Combine egg replacer and water, mix until well combined. Let sit for one minute. Add to bowl with maple syrup and vanilla; beat well.
  2. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the raisins, coconut and chocolate chips. Drop by 2 tablespoonfuls 2-in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  3. Bake at 350° until edges are set and light brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.

You won’t get tricked into thinking these oatmeal raisin cookies are chocolate chip because this elevated recipe incorporates both (plus some coconut to really sweeten things)! In less than an hour, you’ll have a golden-brown, vegan treat you can’t resist. —Margaret Knoebel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
