Delicious and chewy oatmeal cookies made without butter, using vegetable oil instead for a lighter texture. Perfect for a quick treat or snack.
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar and oil mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the raisins evenly throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
