These eggless oatmeal raisin cookies are so soft, delicious and yum that you will crave for more!! Has a perfect texture – soft & chewy in the middle but crispy and crunchy on the outside. RECIPE DETAIL – Below recipe calls for brown sugar but it can be substituted with white superfine sugar. Cookies made with white sugar will turn out crispier than cookies made with brown sugar. Or you can do half and half – 1/2 of brown sugar and 1/2 of regular sugar. Since these cookies have applesauce, I have kept the sugar on the moderate side but feel free to add more. If using egg, adjust the applesauce quantity from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup. Applesauce can be substituted with pureed banana. Unable to find dried cranberries in your local grocery store – no worries, substitute it with golden raisins or regular raisins. If you like almonds or pecans or walnuts, add them to the batter for extra flavor and crunch. Once all the ingredients are blended, gently fold in dried raisins and cranberries. The trick is to mix them by hand and avoid overdoing them. Slightly grease your baking tray and arrange cookies. This way you will have no problem in removing them from the tray, once baked. Oven temperatures vary, so keep a close eye on your cookies because after 8-9 minutes they will start to brown up around the edges. Mine took 10 minutes to bake and the end result was a soft, moist and crunchy cookies.
Before transferring them onto a wire rack, let them cool on the cookie sheet for 3-4 minutes – this way they can be removed easily. These cookies turned out to have just perfect crispy edges, chewy middles and were so moist, flavorful, and delicious. Do give them a try!!
