Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

3 tablespoons water

2 cups gluten free old fashioned oats

1 cup gluten free all purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 stick (1/2 cup) vegan butter, softened (i used earth's balance)

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup raisins

Method

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flax and water. Let sit for 2 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.

In the bowl of a standing mixer, or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the flax mixture and vanilla extract and stir until combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Add the raisins and stir to thoroughly combine.

Using a 2 tablespoon measure, place cookie dough onto Silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
