vegan oatmeal cookies

i am always really scared to even attempt making oatmeal cookies because my mom makes the best oatmeal cookies in the whole wide world. here goes nothing!

VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES

1/2 c. vegetable shortening
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. oatmeal
1 c. raisins if you want, but personally i hate raisins in my cookies

in a large bowl, beat shortening and sugars until creamy. add applesauce and vanilla, and beat well. add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and mix well. add oats (and raisins if you want), mixing well one last time! bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes

i’ll be honest - these aren’t as good as my mom’s :(

but for a quick and easy, one-bowl vegan treat, they’re pretty darn good!
