Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Coconut oil
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Dairy-free chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, use a hand whisk or mixer to cream together the coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a unified dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in dairy-free chocolate chips or raisins for added flavor and texture.

Step 7

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Gently press down the cookie mounds slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to flatten them for even baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for longer storage.
