Carrot Cake Cookies

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Step 5: Fold in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips.

Step 6: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a soft cookie dough forms.

Step 7: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

Step 8: Bake for 11–13 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 9: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 10: Once cooled, decorate the cookies with small carrot-shaped frosting decorations if desired.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. To enjoy warm cookies, microwave one cookie for 8–10 seconds before serving.
