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).

These are a soft and chewy oatmeal cookie. A nice change from sweeter biscuits, but if you prefer you could replace the raisins with chocolate chips. Preheat oven to 180°C, 350°F
