Carrot Cake Cookies


Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour (whole wheat pastry or white)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking power
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup shredded carrots (about 4 of those packaged carrots)
1/2 cup plain almond or other nondairy milk
1/4 cup olive or grapeseed oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins or chopped candied ginger

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ground ginger.  Make sure got no lumps.
  2. In a smaller bowl, mix together the shredded carrots, milk, and oil.
  3. Preheat oven to 375℉.  Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir.
  5. Fold in the nuts and raisins and stir.
  6. Scoop dough onto baking sheet about 1 inch apart.  Bake until the bottoms are golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes.

Notes:  We like it with a little more raisins and walnuts.  Also, this may be better if thicker because the texture is similar to cake.
