Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies


These cookies turn out really soft and chewy, but the best part is that they stay that way for days. Well, that is, if they last that long….

2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar (loosely packed)
2 t baking soda
1 t nutmeg
1 t cinnamon
¼ cup Agave Nectar
½ cup Maple Syrup
½ cup water
2 t vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup chocolate chips, nuts, or sunflower seeds (optional)

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
Mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
In a small bowl whisk together Agave nectar, maple syrup, water, and vanilla extract.
Add to dry ingredients and mix well.
Stir in the raisins.
Add optional ingredients, if desired.
Grease a cookie sheet. 
Place heaping teaspoonfuls of dough on cookie sheet about ½ in apart.
Gently flatten the dough mounds with your fingers.
Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Since these cookies are soft, be carefully use a spatula when removing them from the cookie sheet.
Let cool on bakers rack completely.
