Oatmeal raisin cookies (vegan friendly)

Now I don’t know about you but, I love me some oatmeal raisin cookies. There’s just something so cozy about oatmeal that makes it so addicting to me. Especially when it’s getting colder out as we transition into the winter time.

As a matter of fact, if I was forced to choose one type of cookie to eat for the rest of my life, without a doubt, it would have to be oatmeal raisin.

It just never fails to satisfy my sweet tooth and having the oatmeal in there tricks me into thinking that I’m actually having something healthy 🙂

Another thing I adore about oatmeal cookies is how versatile they are in nature. That means you can throw any add-ins you want and it’ll still turn out delicious!

Sometimes we end up throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the dough and other times, we choose to stick closer to the classic nature of the cookies by just adding in sweet golden raisins with a sprinkle of tart dried cranberries for balance

What about you? What do you like to toss into your oatmeal cookies?
