Needed a delicious chewy oatmeal cookie recipe for a dairy-free diet, and most of them didn't hold up well with the butter we use. So I made one that is equally delicious with butter, or when we use Smart Balance dairy-free spread!

  1. 1

    Put raisins in microwave safe bowl, cover with water. Microwave for 5 minutes. Let soak for about 5 minutes more, then strain. Set aside.

    Add sugar and brown sugar to large bowl. Add softened butter (or margarine or vegan alternative) and mix with mixer until consistent texture.

  3. 3

    Add eggs, vanilla, and almond extracts to wet mix, blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Sift or mix together flour, baking soda, coarse sea salt, and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients and hand mix until consistent texture.

  5. 5

    Add oats and strained raisins, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.

    Set oven to 375° F. Grease baking sheet. Scoop into tablespoon sizes and place 1.5-2" apart on sheet. Press in crossing pattern with fork. Sprinkle with sugar if you'd like. :) Bake for 10 minutes.

    Let them set for at least two minutes (I know it's hard!). Whether you eat them hot, warm, or room temperature, they'll still be chewy!
