This cookie was inspired by a vegan cookie that I would get at a farmers market on weekends. The cookies were HUGE, delicious, and only $2.50! Ingredients:
1 cup shredded carrot |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/4 cup butter |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/4 cups rolled oats (not instant) |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 cup sugar-free maple syrup |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, maple syrup and vanilla.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well blended.
4. Drop the dough into 1/4 (or 1/3!) cup mounds about 3 apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until golden. Check after 10 minutes to avoid overbaking!
5. Use a spatula to transfer slightly cooled cookies to a rack or plate.
