### Amish Oatmeal Cookie
#### Ingredients:
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup raisins
#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Prepare your flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Let it sit for a couple of minutes until it thickens, then add it to the wet mixture along with the vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick cookie dough forms.
6. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and shape them into round cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to achieve your desired thickness.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Amish Oatmeal Cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, accompanied by a glass of plant-based milk or a cup of your favorite hot beverage. Their chewy texture, sweet raisins, and hints of cinnamon will make them a beloved treat in your household, perfect for any occasion.
