Happy National Cookie Day!
Cookies are probably my most favorite thing to make. I get to bake, which has a lot of science, and I get to eat yummy stuff with portion control built right in. You should see all the cookie pics that I’ve taken but have never gotten around to posting … It’s a lot!
This recipe is so good that my hubby helped me make a batch so I could take them to my last doctor’s appointment, as a gift. They’re that good!
This is the chaos that is my kitchen so I’m so lucky to have a great hubs that’s willing to assist and clean up after me :-)
This vegan cookie recipe was adapted from NutritionMD and it is fabulous. The flavors are so rich and complex that you’d never guess they were vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil
- 3 Tbsp soy milk, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup packed Whey Low Gold (brown sugar substitute)
- 2 Tbsp molasses
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and oats.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vanilla, oil, soy milk, molasses & brown sugar.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine.
- Drop onto prepared baking sheet (with non-stick spray or parchment paper) by using two spoons or a cookie scoop. I used a #16 disher, which makes a large cookie.
Recipe adapted from NutritionMD (http://www.nutritionmd.org/recipes/view.html?recipe_id=1333)
The original recipe states that it makes 12 cookies but I preferred a larger cookie so this made 8 for me. Hope you love these nutritious cookies!

You’re totally right on – You won’t be disappointed with these :-)
They look pretty healthy to me but I would still play with that sugar content as difficult as it is.

These are better than some “regular” oatmeal raisin cookies I’ve tried. No matter what my eating plan ends up being, these will probably stay :-)
