Description

Dense, moist, and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies optimized for high-altitude baking. Made with whole wheat flour, oat flour, and coconut sugar for a healthier twist on the classic.

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup oat flour (grind oats in food processor)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda (reduced significantly for altitude and texture)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (218 grams) coconut oil, softened (or ½ cup coconut oil + ½ cup butter)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar, packed
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar (or more coconut sugar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks (for extra moisture and binding)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups raisins (soaked in warm water 10 min, then drained)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (higher temp for altitude).
  2. 2
    Soak raisins in warm water while preparing other ingredients.
  3. 3

    Cream together softened coconut oil and coconut sugar until well combined (2-3 minutes).

  4. 4
    Beat in eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
  5. 5
    In separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients (flours, oats, baking soda, spices, salt).
  6. 6
    Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  7. 7
    Drain raisins well and fold in with walnuts.
  8. 8
    Drop generous spoonfuls on parchment-lined baking sheet, flatten slightly.
  9. 9
    Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  10. 10
    Cool on pan 5-10 minutes before transferring (they'll firm up as they cool).
