Ingredients

gfJules™ Original Cookie Mix
1/2 cup butter or non-dairy alternative e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks
1/2 cup shortening OR coconut oil
2 large eggs or applesauce or like prepared, e.g. Ener-G® Egg Replacer
2 Tbs. honey OR agave nectar
1 cups certified gluten-free oats*

Optional Add-Ins

1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cups baking raisins or regular raisins – boiled for 2 minutes, then drained before adding to dough
1/2 cup chopped pecans OR walnuts

Instructions

Bring the butter and shortening to room temperature, then beat together with half of the cookie mix until light and fluffy – several minutes. Mix in the eggs or egg substitute and honey, until combined. Gradually stir remaining mix, oats and cinnamon into the first mixture. Lastly, stir in raisins and nuts, if using.
Scoop dough into a container and cover tightly. Refrigerate or freeze until cold or bake right away.
Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection).
Drop by measured teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, at least 1 inch apart; press down with the back of a spoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or just until the tops are lightly browned. Let them stand 5 minutes before removing them to cooling racks.
