Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a hand mixer until creamy and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
- Fold in the carrots, nuts, and raisins. Stir in the grated carrots, chopped nuts, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Scoop the dough. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers have set.
- Cool. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For nut-free options, consider using unsweetened shredded coconut or double the raisins. To keep cookies soft, store in an airtight container with a slice of bread. They can be frozen for up to three months.
