How to Make Agave Oatmeal Raisin Flax Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) vegan margarine and 1/2 cup (100g) agave nectar until light and fluffy.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal and 4 tablespoons water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
4. Add the flaxseed mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (60g) flaxseed meal, 1 1/2 cups (180g) whole wheat pastry flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup (100g) rolled oats and 1/2 cup (60g) raisins on low speed.
7. Drop rounded tablespoons (approximately 1/4 cup) of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. Flatten slightly with a fork.
8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Cookies don't spread much.)
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
