Vegan cookies


Banana Oatmeal Raisin Nut Cookies

5 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups oatmeal - quick cooking, but not instant
1 tsp salt
3 cups sugar - 1/2 white, 1/2 dark brown
2 tbsp baking powder

2 cups smashed bananas - I freeze mine if I don't have any soft enough, freezing overnight does the same thing as leaving them to sit for 3 days.
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 tbsp vanilla
1 to 2 cups raisins*
1 to 2 cups chopped walnuts*

Mix all together.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop onto greased cookie sheet. Smash the scoops of dough down with you hand or a glass dipped in water - don't smash too far, you just want to spread them out a bit, these cookies don't spread like the ones with butter.
Bake at 375° for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies start to get brown around the edges.

* experiment with the amount, some people like less, some more.
