Carrot Cake Cookies

Carrot Cake Cookies are chewy, oatmeal-based cookies topped with a swirl of cream cheese frosting. They taste like a slice of carrot cake, but are so much easier to make!

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup grated carrots

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup raisins

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Stir in the grated carrots, walnuts, and raisins.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Enjoy!
