- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

- 5 teaspoon whole milk

Instructions
To Make the Carrot Cake Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a standing mixer or electric hand mixer.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Add vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing as you go.
- Fold in the carrot, raisins, oatmeal, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut with a rubber spatula until well distributed.
- Place balls of cookie dough on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a light golden brown.
To Make the Cream Cheese Icing:
- Beat together the cream cheese, powder sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Scoop the icing into a plastic squeeze bottle.
- Drizzle icing over cooled cookies and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Allow icing to set before storing or serving.
Notes
- Note: Nutrition information is a rough estimate only; actual values will vary based on the exact ingredients used and amount of recipe prepared.
- Prep Tips:
- Oats - For the perfect chewy oatmeal cookie texture, make sure to use Old Fashioned Rolled Oats in this recipe. Sometimes simply called "rolled oats," they are sturdier than quick oats and will hold up during mixing and baking. Quick oats may absorb too much liquid and become soft.
- Nuts - We used chopped pecans for these cookies, but you could substitute chopped walnuts if that's what you have on hand or is your taste preference.
- Gluten-Free Variation - Make these tasty carrot oatmeal cookies a gluten free treat by simply swapping out the all-purpose baking flour with your favorite all-purpose gluten free flour. You may also want to check the packaging on your oats to ensure that they are certified gluten free.
