Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup raisins
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups rolled oats
• ¾ cup shortening
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• ½ cup vanilla-flavored soy milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in soy milk until well combined.

Step 3

Mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl. Pour over the sugar mixture and mix well. Fold in oats, walnuts, and raisins; cookie dough will be thick.

Step 4

Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and drop onto cookie sheets. Press down slightly to flatten cookies.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes before removing to cooling racks.
