How to Make Oatmeal Cookies with Carrots

Prepare the Carrots:

• Start by peeling the carrots and then shred them using the smaller holes of a grater to avoid long strings of carrots in your cookies.

Whisk Dry Ingredients:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. This typically includes flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.

Prepare Wet Ingredients:

• In another bowl, whisk together cooled melted butter with both sugars (brown sugar and granulated sugar), an egg, and vanilla extract.

Incorporate Carrots:

• Stir the shredded carrots into the wet mixture until they are evenly distributed.

Combine Both Mixtures:

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.

Chill the Dough:

• Cover the bowl with the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This helps the flavors meld together and prevents spreading during baking.

Preheat and Bake:

• Preheat your oven to the specified temperature.
• Drop spoonfuls of the chilled dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them apart.
• Bake the cookies for about 9 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy:

• Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled, enjoy your homemade oatmeal cookies with the delightful addition of carrots.

These oatmeal cookies with carrots are a unique and tasty twist on traditional oatmeal cookies. They're perfect for enjoying as a snack or dessert, and the carrots add a hint of sweetness and moisture to the cookies.
