Sweet & Simple Raisin Cookies [one bowl, vegan, gluten-free, corn-free]

Sweet & Simple Raisin Cookies

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

• 3 tablespoons warm water

• ½ cup organic grapeseed oil

• ¾ cup coconut palm sugar

• 2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup

• ¾ cup brown rice flour

• ½ cup coconut flour

• ¾ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon baking powder (see recipe for Corn-Free Baking Powder)

• ¼ teaspoon Himilayan salt

• Organic raisins (about ⅓ cup - measure to taste)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I like to use AirBake Natural cookie sheets).

2. Make a flax egg by mixing the ground flaxseed with warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes before mixing into batter.

3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the oil, sugar and maple syrup with a whisk until "creamed" together.

4. Add flax egg and whisk until combined.

5. Add raisins to wet mixture.

6. Add the flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

7. Use a round tablespoon measure to scoop cookie dough into small round balls and drop onto baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 15 minutes until just about browned on the edges.

9. Remove from oven and allow to sit on the cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes before moving to a cooling rack (this helps the texture and enhances the crispy edges)
