Ingredients

• 8 tbsp grass fed unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup packed light brown monk fruit – I use the brand @lakanto
• 1/8 cup granulated white monk fruit
• 1 large organic egg
• 1/2 tbsp organic pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tbsp organic maple syrup
• 3/4 cup organic all purpose flour (oat or gluten free all purpose flour work too if you are gluten free)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats.
• 1/2 cup organic raisins
  

How To Make Them

1. Using a hand or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both monk fruit sweeteners together. Add the egg and mix until just combined.
2. Add the vanilla and syrup. Mix until combined. Slowly add in the flour, salt, baking soda, & cinnamon while mixing, until you have a cookie dough.
3. Mix in the oats & raisins by hand. Your dough will be thick, yet sticky. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
5. Roll out 14-16 cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to “set” on the baking sheet during this time. Enjoy!!

How To Store Leftovers

Store your leftover cookies in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 days . You can also store them in the fridge for longer! I love giving these cookies a zap in the microwave before enjoying them again. There is just something different about a warm cookie.

Want to Reduce the Fat Content?

If you are concerned about the fat content you can do half butter & half unsweetened applesauce. You just won’t get that authentic oatmeal cookie texture but it will be close! I use grass fed butter, which is the best you can get!
