BUTTER COOKIES WITH RAISINS

Steps:

• Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and salt in large bowl until creamy. Mix in vanilla. Add flour and raisins; mix until smooth dough forms. Divide dough in half. Shape each dough half into 1 1/2-inch-diameter log. Wrap each log in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets. Cut each dough log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices on prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are golden, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets. Transfer to racks; cool completely. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES (GF)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, oats, gluten-free flour, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, beat aquafaba (using a handheld mixer or by whisking vigorously, which will take much longer) until light and fluffy and loose peaks have formed. (Add 1/8 tsp cream of tartar to help them along if not whipping.)
• To the aquafaba, add the almond butter and oil and beat or whisk to combine. (The mixture will deflate a little - that's okay). Then add to dry ingredients and mix until combined. You should have a firm, semi-tacky dough (see photo). If not baking immediately, cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days (the cookies will develop a bit more flavor and slightly firmer texture if the dough chills, but chilling this long is not necessary).
• Scoop dough into roughly 2-Tablespoon amounts (I like this scoop) and place on prepared baking sheet with about a 1-inch gap in between each cookie to allow for spreading. Press down slightly with your palm to form a disc. Then use fingers to tuck in any raisins that might be sticking out. There should be about 12 cookies.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown and they've puffed up and expanded a bit. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the pan before enjoying (they will continue firming up as they cool).
• Store leftovers in a loosely sealed container at room temperature up to 2-3 days, or in the freezer for 1 month. We recommend storing them in the freezer once cooled to help retain their crispy exterior. These are so delicious when warm and dipped in homemade almond milk or a chai latte!

ALMOND-RAISIN-WINTER-COOKIES

Steps:

• Roughly chop the almonds. Set aside.
• Cream butter, sugar and egg until frothy.
• In a second bowl mix flour, baking soda, spices and salt. Add this to the butter mixture gradually.
• Fold in almonds, raisins, cranberries and mix with a spoon.
• Using your hands form dough balls the size of a walnut.
• Place on a paper-lined baking tray and flatten slightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 170°C/350°F for 15-20 minutes.

RAISIN-SWEET ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup of the raisins in a glass measuring cup and pour the boiling water over the top. Stir the raisins and let them sit until they are plump.
• Meanwhile, cream the butter and almond butter.
• When the raisins are plump, puree them until they are smooth.
• Add the pureed raisins, egg and vanilla to the creamed butter mixture and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, soda and salt and mix well.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well.
• Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of raisins.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Drop cookie dough onto cookie sheet by rounded teaspoons.
• Dip a fork into coconut and use it to press the tops of the cookies just as you would do for peanut butter cookies.
• Bake from 10-12 minutes and remove immediately to a rack to cool. Note that they cookies may not brown the same as ordinary cookies since they have no sugar in them. You will notice slight cracks in the tops and the the edges my be slightly brown when they are done.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Soak raisins in warm water for 5 minutes, then discard soaking water.

• Grease a cookie sheet and spoon drop about 2 tbsp worth of cookie dough for each cookie.
• Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before transfering to rack to cool another 5 minutes.
