Vegan Oatmeal cookies

This recipe is completely vegan. It does not contain any refined sugar.
If you want to have cookies that taste as delicious as the ones I bake, I do advise you to follow this recipe carefully.
These cookies should be moist and chewy.
I will add substitutions below the recipes if you want to make modifications.
Enjoy!

Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt ( I use sea salt)
3/4 cup unsalted soy margerine (1 and 1/2 sticks)softened
3/4 cup agave nectar (raw works well)
1/2 cup all natural applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
3 cups old fashied oats

1 cup of dried fruit (can be anything you choose, raisins, cranberries,dried cherries, dried pineapple, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside. Mix butter and agave until smooth. Add apple sauce and vanilla. Mix until completely blended. Add flour mixture. Mix until blended. Add oatmeal and then dried fruit. Mix until fruit is blended.
*Do not over mix this dough.
Drop cookie on to cookies sheet with scoop or teaspoon. You can press the cookies a little if you like. These cookies do not spread on their own.
Place cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes. *Remember, cookies continue to bake on cookie sheets even after being pulled out of the oven. So remember to check on your cookies after 10 mintues. Allow cookies to cool for 10 to 15 mins.
Enjoy!
