- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: melted vegan butter or coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax egg, and vanilla.
- Pour dry ingredients over the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir and fold with a rubber spatula until very well mixed, making sure no flour patches remain.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold apples into the dough, until well incorporated. Fold in walnuts and raisins, if using.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, flatten each cookie to desired thickness—mine was about 1/3” thick.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes. Mine took 14 minutes.
- Move baking sheet onto a cooling rack to allow cookies to set for about 5 minutes. Then, using a heatproof spatula, lift and transfer cookies directly onto a cooling rack. Cool cookies for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
