Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the vegan butter, brown sugar, and cane sugar together until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or a whisk.
Mix in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce to the wet ingredients until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
Fold the raisins into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form small dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each ball.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them 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 at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
