Hi there, fellow baking enthusiasts! I'm a stay-at-home mom who loves spending her free time in the kitchen, creating delicious treats for my family. Today, I want to share with you my unique and delicious recipe for Carrot Cookies. These cookies are not only sweet and chewy, but also pack in a healthy dose of carrots. I'm excited to show you how easy and fun it is to make these cookies that will make both your sweet tooth and your health happy!
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the grated carrots and rolled oats until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra crunch and flavor, try adding chopped walnuts or raisins to the dough.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To extend their shelf life, you can store them in the fridge or freezer.
These cookies are a great option for a healthy snack, breakfast, or even dessert. Kids and adults alike will love the combination of sweetness and nutty flavors.
