Carrot Oatmeal Cookies




Ingredients:
375ml cups all-purpose flour
250ml white whole wheat flour
5ml baking soda
1.25ml salt
2.5ml baking powder
2.5ml ground cloves
10ml ground cinnamon
250ml oats (not instant)
190ml brown sugar
60ml white sugar
250ml coconut oil (or 2 sticks butter, softened)
2 large eggs
10ml vanilla extract
500ml grated carrot (3-4 carrots)
125ml flaked coconut
200ml chopped walnuts
icing sugar
milk

Method:

Preheat oven to 180ºC. In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon and oats. Mix well and set aside.

With a mixer, beat together sugars and coconut oil in a large bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add carrots, coconut and walnuts; blend until combined. Batter will be a lumpy.

Add flour mixture and blend at a low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Drop by tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 13-15 minutes. Watch them so they don't brown too much! Immediately transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

If you want your cookies a little sweeter, blend a small amount of icing sugar with a small amount of milk in a bowl. Add milk or powdered sugar until to the perfect consistency you like. Drizzle it over the cookies and serve. 

Enjoy!
