Can I substitute oil for the vegan butter? What type of oil would you suggest?

These are perfect! My whole family loves them and they will be my go-to oatmeal cookie from now on. They aren't too sweet, which I appreciate. The only thing I did differently was to lower the salt because my vegan butter was already salted. I put in about 1/8 t. I made a half batch (ended up with 30 cookies) and baked them for about 8 minutes in my toaster oven on 350. Thank you for the wonderful recipe and the little taste of fall.

I substituted flaxseed for the applesauce (1 tbls flaxseed to 3 tbls water), and the cookies were crispier, which is the way I prefer. This is my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe.

Great recipe, easy to follow, excellent instructions. I cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup brown and 1/2 cup granulated, and I think I cut it back too much. Next time I will only cut the granulated back to 1/2 cup and leave the brown at 3/4 cup. I used regular butter and quick cook oats since that is what I had on hand. I added walnuts. Then I quartered the batch and made 4 different varieties: 1) raisin 2) cranberry 3) chocolate chunk 4)peanut butter and chocolate chunk. Versatile recipe that you can adapt to what you have on hand. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!

These sound delicious! Wondering if I could sub coconut oil for the vegan butter. Would that work also?

Instead of using vegan butter could I use almond butter?

Thank you! I have been searching for vegan cookies that I can make that my non-vegan husband would also enjoy. These are absolutely amazing. I added raisins to the mix. My husband’s comment, “are sure these are vegan?” I think these would be amazing with vegan white chocolate chips and cranberries for the holiday season.

In reply to Gina Sullivan. Sure. I would just puree it so that it's smooth.

Hi! Can home made unsweetened applesauce be used? Thanks!

These cookies were very delicious with the chewy texture I was craving! I added a little less than a cup of raisins & got thumbs up of approval from non-vegan family members. 🙂 Due to the fact I used salted earth balance, I did think they were a little too salty -- my family members did not think so. Next time I would reduce the amount of salt by a tiny bit!
Wanted to note that taking them out when appearing slightly underbaked did end up working great for the texture. The bottoms were browned but not burnt or anything.

Will you please, please make low sugar items? I read the recipes and pass on them when there is so much sugar. We are trying to eat very little sugar.

Should liquid be increased if using whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose? If so, by how much?

I made them with less sugar like a lot of people did and they are fantastic! I split the batter in half and put chocolate chips in one half and dried cranberries in the other (and a couple mixed together). Soooooo good!!!
