  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 large carrots)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients on the countertop, creating a warm and inviting space for your cookie-making adventure.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s hot and ready to bake those cookies to golden perfection.

  4. Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Combine the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using).
  8. Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
