These cinnamon raisin cookies are chewy and soft and the perfect allergen friendly treat. They’re AIP, paleo, gluten, dairy, and egg free!
I’m a huge fan of cinnamon raisin anything, my raisin cake is one of my faves, as well as one of the most popular recipes on the blog. But as much as I love cake, I’ve been ALL about the cookies lately.
And I’m totes obsessed with these cookies. They’re like little cinnamon raisin pillows sent from heaven!
I do have an “oatmeal” raisin cookie recipe already on the blog. But this one is a bit different in texture and taste and uses different flours and ingredients.
Ingredients you need
Tigernut flour
Tigernut flour is a fave grain-free flour of mine. You’ll notice I use it in many of my treat recipes. However, don’t be fooled by the name! Tigernuts are nut-free and are completely AIP compliant. They are actually tubers and have a mild sweet taste to them!
Coconut flour
SO I’m not a huge fan of coconut flour on it’s own. But I find it works best when mixed with other grain-free flours.
Palm Shortening
If you don’t have palm shortening, coconut oil also works but does change the texture slightly.
Coconut Sugar
Lately coconut sugar has been my sweetener of choice, especially in cookies. It gives that brown sugar vibe!
Gelatin
No need to make gelatin eggs! Just throw the gelatin in with the dry ingredients. Woot woot!
Cinnamon
Of course there’s cinnamon in cinnamon raisin cookies. Gosh I love cinnamon! And did you know it can aid in stabilizing blood sugar?
Raisins
Again, love me a good raisin treat! Best part of raisin cookies? The raisins baked on the edge that end up super chewy! SO good! Can you relate?
Water
The water helps with activating the gelatin, and providing moisture, obvi!
Vanilla
I always use pure vanilla extract in my baking. Don’t have any? Just omit, cookies will still taste great!
Salt
