But oatmeal has fiber and I thought people liked fiber in their internet.

Oatmeal raisin is better than chocolate chip don’t fucking come at me you’ll lose
I recently had chocolate chip cookies that had oatmeal, cinnamon and a bit of salt on top.
Best cookies I’ve ever had!
That’s how i bake my edibles!
I WILL fight you for saying that.
Raisins are for psychopaths.
Yeah? And you think you got the chutzpah to go toe to toe with a psycho? Lemme set down my GORP, let’s go, buddy.
Raisins are yummy, but not in cookies. It’s the mismatch of textures I can’t stand.
If you don’t like oatmeal raisin coochie, whoever made them is a shitty baker.
My hero!
Ranger oatmeal cookies are the best oatmeal cookies. Let’s fight.
Right, get your shirt off, let’s do this.
But first tell me what a ranger oatmeal cookie is.
Grams recipe is really fantastic, rice krispies is the superior version (minus the coconut flake).
Of course now the shortning is changed, but add what you like.
Here is a link to a good version.www.yummly.com/recipe/Ranger-Cookies-2518661?prm-…
Yo, those sound fucking dope. I’ll deffo try making em. Could I bother you and ask ya to transcribe your grams recipe? I never learned cursive but I love making recipes passed down by families.
Not who you asked, but here you go.
1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups quick oats
2 cups rice krispies
1 cup (shredded) coconut.
The instructions are probably on the back of the card. You can follow the ones here.

Some notes, you may be able to use use vegan butter and omit eggs to make vegan.never made it like that but i do with chocolate chip cookies and they are fine.
Ive made these without coconut. they are thin and crispy, and delicious
Thank you. I’ll add this one to my recipe book and try it next time I’m asked for cookies. Do you have an aversion to coconut or do you think the cookie is simply better without it?
Also, for what it’s worth, there’s a great baking egg replacement I use whose brand name I’ve totally forgotten but I’ll update this comment later when I’m back near my pantry. It’s great for veganizing baking recipes, though it won’t work for “eggy” breads like challah as well since it’s mostly imitating the unique consistency of egg and that use in baking, not the rich fatty yolk part.
Edit: it’s Ener-G Egg Replacer
Great!I have no aversion to coconut, just never really had/keep it on hand for baking.
I have used a lot of egg substitutes making my desserts vegan for our guest, and eventually just omitted eggs all together (with a little water and a bit more baking soda) because sourcing the egg substitute/cost was a pain in the ass.
The challenge for me is to take some of her recipes and update them, and see if I can make them vegan- like her 1932 gingerbread recipe which calls for lard-which is readily available but we offer a lot of vegan options so converting them while staying true to the dessert (and flavor!) is the goal.
I generally have shredded coconut on hand for thickening curries so that might find its way into a batch of cookies as soon as this weekend.
Ener-G Egg Replacer is the brand I prefer, by the way. I also like to cook with and host some vegan buddies, so I’ve been working on learning what works and what doesn’t. It’s a fun lil challenge. Made vegan meringues once with aquafaba and vinegar? Bizarre, but it worked! Did faintly smell of vinegar, so I only recommend that one if every bite of meringue is had with something else to cover that up.
That is one of the good egg replaces, especially for baking (I used a lot less than the recommended quantity).
The sourcing here is spotty and unreliable, so I used a lot of different ones. One was just garbanzo flour and a couple different starches …which got me on to alternatives because 1C of garbo flour for 3€ is ridiculous.
How about using lemon as the acid in the meringue? (lemon meringue pie?)
oatmeal raisins is perfect, thanks! #teamoatmeal
the best kind of cookie, don't @ me.
Especially when you let the dough rest overnight in the fridge first to enhance those caramel/toffee flavors.
Fuck yeah, oatmeal raisin cookies
Lots to be said about resting your cookie fough, I read Somewhere that your cchips will be better after 72hrs.
controversial opinion: oatmeal raisin cookies ain't bad
This is the proper response to oatmeal raisin cookies.
Why would you refuse the best of all cookies?
It’s best for tourture and insane people.
oatmeal raisin cookies are great fuck you
Can I get the oatmeal without the raisins? I like the cookie part.
I like the raisins 🥺
You're right, I could totally set my session cookie name to be oatmeal-rasin.
