Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Finely grated carrots
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, and rolled oats using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently flatten each cookie slightly, as they will not spread much during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but the centers still appear soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Carrot Pecan Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite tea!
