Instructions
Creating these cookies is a straightforward process that even novice bakers can tackle with ease. Follow the steps below for the best results:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your cookie dough is prepared.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined, and the dough forms.
- Incorporate Raisins: Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Scoop Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
