Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Just a simple, delicious chewy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. You either love em or hate em but I would take this cookie over a chocolate chip cookie every day of my life. Next time I will try subbing 1/4 cup of AP flour for whole wheat because generally I like the nutty flavour whole wheat flour adds to baked goods. ​If raisins aren't you're thing try subbing chopped walnuts, chocolate chips or any combination you like!
