Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar light or dark is fine
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned whole-rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raisins soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and after that drained
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add the eggs and mix on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract and molasses and mix on high until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Combine with the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined.
- Next, Beat in the oats, raisins, carrots, chocolate chips, and walnuts on low speed. The dough will be thick and sticky. Chill the dough for one hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using an ice cream scoop, take about 2-3 tablespoons of dough and roll it into balls. You can also make larger cookies if you want. Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. Remove from the oven and let cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
