This is one of my recipes for chocolate chip oatmeal raisin cookies (vegan). I like to throw things together and try different combinations, so feel free to modify this recipe. It's fun! Maybe sometime I'll come back and post more variations.

I made this recipe tonight:

Mix these dry ingredients in large bowl:
2 1/2 cups spelt flour (can use whole wheat)
3 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup ground flaxseeds

Mix wet ingredients in smaller bowl:
1 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vinegar (I used rice vinegar) (you can use vanilla instead LOL -- I was just out of it so I tried the vinegar)
1/2 cup rice milk

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix them together.

Then add and stir in the following three ingredients:

1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips (we use semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips)
1 cup raisins

I grease my cookie sheet and put the dough on cookie sheet by teaspoonfuls (I guess it's a teaspoon -- I have a neat scoop thingy that I think is from Pampered Chef that makes it easy). I flatten them a little. Then bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes at 350 degrees. My oven is a little hot, so keep that in mind. Don't over cook. It makes about 26 cookies.

They are really yummy (at least we think so ).

Please let me know if you try this recipe. I'd love to have feedback regarding it. I'm trying to "perfect" my recipe.
