Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 130 grams grated carrots
- 60 grams raisins (optional)
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the grated carrots, and if desired, the raisins and chopped nuts.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon to form a cookie shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your carrot oatmeal cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
