Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies w/pecans

This is week 4 (last week) of our healthy desserts…Yayyyy!! My family will be pleased to eat the butter and eggs again. That sounds awful lol.



This week I decided to do a cookie which is pretty tasty and I didn’t get any complaints…lol by adding raisins and nuts gave it the flavor that you miss by not having eggs and butter.


As I said before next month I will be baking all chocolate…for February “Valentines” I know it’s only one day however we want to enjoy the entire month…lol

platter...ready to go to a Superbowl party!!!

Tips:
If you don't want to take vegan cookies to your Superbowl party here's the regular version.

2 sticks butter - instead of vegan spread,
2 eggs - instead of applesauce,
1 c. white sugar-  instead of 1/2 c. of vegan sugar
take out nutmeg
everything else stays the same....
