Description

Oat-y, chewy cookies with hidden vegetables and less sugar than a typical cookie recipe. Awesomely delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter, Softened
  • ¾ cups Raw Granulated Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut
  • 1 cup Raisins (or Currants)
  • ¼ cups Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Carrot, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Water, If Needed
  • M&M Candies, Crushed Pretzels, Or Peanut Butter Chips, For Garnish

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter on medium speed for 30 seconds until light and fluffy. Add sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Beat until combined, scraping sides of the bowl after a minute or two. Add the egg and vanilla, mix until combined. Beat in flour and oats, adding a few spoonfuls at a time to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients. Stir in coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, and carrots. If mixture seems very dry, stir in 1 tablespoon of water.

Using a #100 disher or two spoons, drop rounded teaspoons 1-2 inches apart on a greased baking pan or silpat. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until centers are slightly puffed up and bottom edges are golden brown. If desired, press peanut butter chips, crushed pretzel pieces or holiday M&Ms into the tops of the cookies immediately after removing from the oven to decorate the tops. Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
