Oatmeal Carrot Raisin Cookies


I love oatmeal raisin cookies, and have tried a lot. Some turn out too cakey, and some are too crispy, but I think this one is just right! Yes, Goldilocks would've loved these.

Ingredients:

Wet~
1/2 C. vegetable oil
1/2 C. Earth Balance Buttery Sticks
1 C. minced carrot (I used a food processor)
1 C. granulated sugar
1 C. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 T. ground flaxseed
1/2 C. soymilk

Dry~
2 C. all purpose flour
2 C. oats
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 C. raisins

Spinz:
Mix wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls. Add dry to the wet and mix until combined. Add spoonfuls to a prepared cookie sheet (about 2" apart). Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until edges look crispy and golden. Makes about 2-3 dozen depending on size.

  9. I just needed to let you know - I made these cookies like, as soon as I read your post and they're possibly the best cookies I've ever eaten! And the recipe makes enough for the four of us for a week so that's pretty good too! My seven-year old - who usually eschews any baked goods that aren't chocolate - LOVED these too, so they passed the fussy pre-teen test!
