I made a few substitutions though. I used 3/4 cup olive oil instead of the vegan marg. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cups reg sugar. I did use 2 eggs, but substituted white for whole wheat flour and also added in 1/4 cup flaxsead meal. I also added 1/2 cup choc. chips, 1/2 cup shredded coconut and 1/2 cup walnuts. I packed my 1/4 cup measuring cup with the mixture and lightly tapped it to get dough out onto cooking sheet (no need for parchment paper) then lightly pressed down to spread a bit. I baked them for additional 5 min. for 20 min. total at 350 degrees. Cookies spread a bit into beautiful giant round cookie shapes. When done, carefully use spatula to lift off cookie sheet and place onto cooking rack. Enjoy! Tastes a-w-e-s-o-m-e!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the recipe!

Still made them with 1/4 cup less oats. First batch went in the oven looked really dry. So with the remaining dough, I added applesauce to make it more moist. Baked the second batch. The results: First batch came out looking really dry and unappetizing, but after they cooled, they were actually not! They were delicious! The flavor was very buttery and chewy like a non-vegan cookie would be. The second batch came out looking excellent - they browned around the edges and looked very moist, and they were, but i thought the applesauce was too prominent. They were definitely more cake-like. In the end, I discovered looks are definitely deceiving. Even though something may not look appetizing, they turned out really good and better than expected!

I added 1/2 cup of flour to the mix and put them on a higher rack in the oven. I used 5 Tbsp ground flax seed w 6 tbsp water as the egg replacer, and I only used 1 cup of raisins. 8-9 min. in the oven was perfect. Maybe i used a different egg replacer or amount?

Don't know if it was my margarine substitute or what, but my cookies spread out into one giant crispy delicious monster. I added maybe an extra half cup of flour and it improved greatly. Super tasty both before and after, though. I made these cookies tonight in a 2.5x batch.
