The star of these oatmeal cookies is definitely the whiskey soaked raisins! Enjoy with a glass of milk, or better yet, whiskey!

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp whiskey
- ¾ cup raisins
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup milk or almond milk
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour (I used Cup4Cup gluten free flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups whole oats (not quick cooking/instant)
- flour (I used Cup4Cup gluten free flour)
Tools
- Baking sheet
- Small bowl
- Mixer
- Large bowl
- Cutting board
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover them with the whiskey. Let them soak while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix together the softened butter, applesauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
- Slowly beat in the milk, egg, egg white, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and raisins.
- Scoop rounded teaspoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until barely browned around the edges (be sure not to overcook).
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool (but I highly recommend eating them while they're still warm!).
