Giant Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan, GF, Oil-Free Opt)

Giant Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies are a keeper! If you don't like raisins or chocolate chips you can choose your favorite or use both like me. So far everyone who has tried these cookies just loves them, even a non-vegan! Who doesn't love cookeis. They are a bit indulgent and that is okay. #treatyoself! Get the recipe below. 

Ingredients:
1 Cup Oats (Use Gluten-Free if allergic)
1 to 1 1/2 Cups Oat Flour (Oats ground to flour)
1 Tbsp Flax Meal or 1 tsp Psyllium Husk
3 Tbsp Filtered Water
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
3/4 Cup Maple Syrup (Agave or 1 Cup Coconut Sugar)
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil or Coconut Butter (At room temp, soft)
1/2 Cup Raisins
1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips

Peaceful Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment or a silmat. 
2. Combine the water and flax meal or psyllium husk together. Mix well. Set aside for 5-7 minutes to congeal.
3. Mix together the coconut oil/butter with the syrup until it is nice and creamy.
4. Add the congealed flax mixture, mix well. 
5. Add the balance of the ingredients less the chocolate chips. (*You can add the chocolate chips to the dough and on top, or just on top, your preference.) Mix until it forms a cookie dough. Start with 1 cup of the oat flour and add the other 1/2 cup if it needs it, I did add it. You can let it set for 10 minutes if needed for the flour to absorb the liquid. 
6. Use an ice cream scoop and place it on the cookie tray leaving 2" of space for spreading. Flatten slightly into a cookie shape. Place chocolate chips on top. 
7. Bake 12-15 minutes, I went 15, until golden.
8. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before enjoying. Dig in!!
