Description
Soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened, these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (Sugar Free) are perfect for a wholesome snack or dessert. Made with rolled oats, raisins, and warm cinnamon, they deliver all the classic cookie comfort without refined sugar.
Ingredients
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), softened at room temperature
¾ cup monk fruit sweetener or erythritol
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon Simply Organic Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract
⅛ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups rolled oats
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup raisins
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sweetener using a stand or hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. With the mixer on low, add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the raisins gently with a spatula.
6. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
7. Scoop 1½ tablespoons of dough for each cookie using a cookie scoop or spoon. Flatten the tops slightly with your fingers or a spoon.
8. Bake for 10–14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers should appear soft.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking mat for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
10. Cool completely for another 10 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
For best texture, avoid overbaking. Cookies should appear soft in the center when removed from the oven.
If using stevia, check conversion ratios since sweetness levels vary. Monk fruit sweetener measures 1:1 like sugar.
Use a silicone baking mat for even browning and easier removal.
Do not substitute baking soda with baking powder.
Chill dough for 10–15 minutes if it feels sticky before shaping.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Freeze for up to 2 months.
