Ingredients
- 1 cup instant oats
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 large large egg at room temperature
- 1/4 cup cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 medium carrot finely grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl combine the first 5 ingredients.
- In a second bowl, whisk the egg and cream cheese until smooth. Add in the vanilla, and honey.
- Add the flour mixture and stir to incorporate. Fold in the grated carrot.
- Using an ice cream scoop, add dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared sheet pan with a bit of space in between. You may flatten them slightly to help them reach an even shape.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, then allow the cookies to cool down on the sheet pan.
Notes
- To store: These can be kept at room temperature for the first day or two, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 to 7 days.
- To freeze: Allow the cookies to completely cool, and then transfer them to an airtight container lined with wax or parchment paper or freezer-safe bag before storing them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Once ready to eat, simply thaw at room temperature.
