Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to blend the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the dairy-free margarine or coconut oil with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips or raisins to the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
