I love oatmeal cookies, traditionally a bit less sweet than other cookies so they really appeal. These Vegan Oatmeal Raisin cookies hit the spot nicely – soft, chewy and with a bit of sweetness from the raisins. The ‘shortening’, or Trex, adds the chewiness but you can make with just dairy free margarine if you can’t get Trex (or similar).
