Paleo Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (faux-tmeal)

These cookies are a gluten free grain free oatmeal raisin cookie, that taste as good as the quaker version. Oatmeal was one of the last grains I gave up when going paleo. And oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my absolute favorites. I totally understand that no baked good is paleo, but I live a paleo life. No grains, no beans, no dairy, ect all of the time. So these are my special treats. :). Definitely not a good choice for those on a strict paleo plan (these are not whole30 approved). Hope you like these cookies as much as we do. They are nice and low in sugar, but if you need them a little sweeter then add a bit more. I used coconut sugar but I'm sure maple would work also.
