# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly mixed.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine melted coconut oil, light brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
04 - Add the blended wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined without overmixing.
05 - Fold in the chopped dried mango, dried blueberries, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
06 - Scoop dough in generous tablespoon portions and arrange on the prepared baking sheet, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each.
07 - Press each portion lightly with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until cookie edges are golden and centers remain soft.
08 - Place baking sheet on a wire rack and allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer cookies to the rack to cool completely.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everyone will think you found a fancy bakery, but really, these come together with one bowl and a handful of simple, wholesome ingredients.
- The chewy centers and juicy bites of fruit make these cookies almost impossible to stop nibbling.
02 -
- If you overbake, they lose their signature soft chew—pull them while still a little tender in the center.
- Chopping dried mango super fine keeps it from getting stringy or tough in the cookie, which I learned the crunchy way.
03 -
- Underbake by a minute for the chewiest cookie, as they keep setting up while cooling.
- A pinch more salt can transform the depth of the fruity sweetness if your dried fruits are especially sugary.
