Indulge in the flavors of carrot cake in the form of a delicious cookie. The goodness of carrots, oats, walnuts, and raisins come together in these chewy and flavorful carrot cake cookies.
Ingredients: 1 cup grated carrots. 1/2 cup rolled oats. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. 1/2 cup raisins. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the grated carrots, rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and raisins. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the carrot-oat mixture until evenly distributed. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delicious carrot cake cookies!
