Ingredients
- 205 g (2 cups) rolled oats
- 90 g (½ cup) whole wheat flour
- (1 teaspoon) baking powder
- (1 teaspoon) baking soda
- 150 g (1 cup) dark raisins
- 45 g (¼ cup) flax seed

2. Place margarine, date syrup, egg, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla into the Food Processor Work Bowl fitted with the Multi-Use Blade and secure the lid. Start the machine and allow to process for 45 seconds, or set timer and allow machine to complete programmed cycle.
3. Once completely stopped, remove the lid and add the oat flour mixture to the Food Processing Work Bowl. Pulse 6-8 times to incorporate the remaining ingredients together.

5. In preheated oven, bake chilled cookies for approximately 18 minutes. Let cool slightly and move to a wire rack to completely cool before serving.
Chef's Notes
Cookies come out a darker color due to the date syrup. "Flax egg" or other egg alternative can be substituted for the 1 egg to make this recipe completely vegan.
