Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  2. Toast 1 1/4 cups of rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned) in the oven for 3-5 minutes until they barely start to turn golden, then set aside to cool.
  3. Soak 1 cup of raisins in warm water for 10 minutes to plump them up, then drain thoroughly and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup prune puree (or Wonderslim), 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup white sugar.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pastry flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat at high speed until fully combined and smooth.
  7. Fold in the toasted oats and drained raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Lightly spray two cookie sheets with vegetable oil or line them with parchment paper.
  9. Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for approximately 9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
