I have to space how often I make them cuz I can't stop eating them. ]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:50:54 -0400 729-1490 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies I'm so excited to try these cookies, but the cost of the coconut oil is devastating (I'm a poor college student, newly vegan). Can I substitute the coconut oil with more canola oil? Or maybe Crisco? (Is Crisco vegan?) ]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2013 06:56:00 -0400 729-1445 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies I WILL NEVER MAKE THESE AGAIN... BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP EATING THEM. Seriously these are too good I can't handle them. I made them last night and I think I've had six so far. Make me stop! ]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2013 16:30:08 -0500 729-1277 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies I was making these for a fund-raiser and didn't have the time to make the condensed milk. Maybe that was the issue, but I followed the recipe exactly. This batter was very wet and thin. I would have tossed it, except for an earlier post mentioning the same thing. It took more than one trip to the oven, and as the batter, not dough, sat, it thickened. Perhaps it should be part of the directions to allow the batter to rest while the oatmeal absorbs the excess liquid. Otherwise, the cookies are flat and do not look at all like the photo. They taste great..... ]]> Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:36:53 -0500 729-1218 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies Could not ask for better cookies! im not vegan and im in love this oatmeal cookies. Since im losing weight, i tried looking cookie recipes that dont have animal fat and this is just great! they taste great, look, smell amazing. Couldnt ask for a better cookie! ]]> Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:37:45 -0500 729-1003 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies I tried making these with a gluten-free flour blend in place of the AP flour, and they turned out more like cake or bread. I imagine that the baking powder would need to be adjusted when using rice flour blends, or that I shouldn't have mixed it so much. They weren't super-sweet either, and since I baked half the batch in a square pan and half the batch as cookies, I put some vegan vanilla frosting in between a layer of square cookies (inspired by the Cowvin Cookie (http://stickyfingersbakery.com/products-page/sweetsandeats/cowvin-cookies/) and they are much better that way!! ]]> Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:00:17 -0400 729-851 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies Hi there, I tried this recipe last weekend. I didn't have molasses and I substituted with maltose... bad idea since the cookies turned out super dense and heavy... not very yummy. Molasses and maltose have such a similar consistency and colour that I really thought it was going to work. Guess there is science to this baking stuff afterall..... I'll rate the recipe when I try it again without making any substitutions :) Thanks, Janice ]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:01:43 -0500 729-818 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies I don't like oatmeal raisin cookies. They are too dry and blah. But I needed a recipe with a purple ingredient for a themed potluck, so I picked this one. I figured there would be no danger of over-indulging in these cookies. I was so, so wrong! These are delicious! The very wet consistency of the dough scared me, but I am very glad I persevered. I can't wait to share these with my friends. ...if I can keep my hands off them. ]]> Sun, 26 Feb 2012 02:28:03 -0500 729-555 http://www.veganbaking.net/cookies/729-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies Great recipe, simple ingredients and turns out better than a non vegan cookie! Also, instead of raisins, I used dried cranberries, and added some pepitas and pecans. Tastes like a sweet granola cookie, definitely making these again! another thing, the dough was a little runny, maybe because I didnt use molasses, but i just added a little more oats and flour and it turned out fine. Thank you for this recipe! ]]> Thu, 04 Aug 2011 05:04:57 -0400
