- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Give it a good stir like you mean it!
- In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. You want it smooth and digestively tempting.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Stir until everything is just combined. You don’t want to overdo it—nobody likes a tough cookie!
- Fold in the raisins or chocolate chips. Now we’re talking!
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They’re going to spread out and get cozy.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The house will smell like a delicious apple pie gone wild.
- Let them cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is a virtue, even when cookies are involved.
