Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Fold in the raisins to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon or your fingers to form a cookie shape since they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly firm but not browned. Do not overbake to keep them chewy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
