Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Finely grated carrots
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, and rolled oats using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently flatten each cookie slightly, as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but the centers still appear 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.
Serve and enjoy your Carrot Pecan Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite tea!
