    Carrot Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are like little bites of a carrot cake in cookie form

    Carrot Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Living Well Kitchen

    I was looking at my recipes the other day and realized a disturbing fact...

    My only oatmeal cookie recipe is to serve only one.

    I decided to change that, and what better way to do it than with a cookie that is perfect for Easter?

    Carrot Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

    They're basically oatmeal raisin cookies but you use half of the raisins and add in carrots too.

    Like any recipe that calls for 1 ยฝ cups of sugar, these are not healthy.

    And I think that's ok because cookies are good for the mind ๐Ÿ™‚

    However, I did make a few changes to the average oatmeal raisin cookie recipe.

    I used some yogurt instead of all butter.

    Cut back on the raisins and replaced with carrots to add a few extra nutrients with a little less sugar. Yes, raisins are made of natural sugar, but dried fruit is a very concentrated source.

    Replacing it with some carrots helps keep the sweetness without sacrificing on taste.

    And then on an allergy related note, I made the cookies with flax "eggs." If you don't have an egg allergy, you can use 2 eggs in place of the flax meal and water mixture.

    Other than that, they are just delicious little bites of oats, cinnamon, carrots, and raisins.

    I found these tasted best either right from the oven or cold, so I keep them in the fridge.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal
    • 4 tablespoon water
    • ยพ cup plain Greek yogurt
    • ยผ cup unsalted butter ยฝ stick, room temperature
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • ยฝ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1-ยฝ cups white whole wheat flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1-ยฝ teaspoon cinnamon
    • dash nutmeg
    • ยฝ teaspoon salt
    • 3 cups old-fashioned oats or quick oats
    • ยฝ cup raisins
    • ยฝ cup carrots grated, about 1 medium carrot

    Instructions

    • In a small bowl, whisk together flaxseed meal and water. Set aside.
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine yogurt, butter, brown sugar, and sugar until completely combined.
    • Add in vanilla extract and flaxseed meal mixture.
    • Meanwhile, whisk together white whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat for about 20 seconds. Add the remaining flour and beat until combined.
    • Add oats, raisins, and carrots. Beat on low just until combined.
    • Drop cookie dough in about 2 tablespoon sized cookies onto an un-greased cookie sheet. The cookies don't really spread, so you can put them about 1 inch apart.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining dough.
