Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon for sprinkling the cookies
- 1 ⅔ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup finely grated carrots, about 5 ounce
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add parchment paper to a cookie sheet.
- Mix. Add the butter, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to a large bowl. Mix the ingredients with a spatula.
- Combine. Add the grated carrots to the bowl and stir. Using a fork is an easy way to combine.
- Dry ingredients. Sift the baking powder and flour in a different bowl. Once sifted, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in two batches. Use a fork to stir.
- Make the dough. Once the batter is done being mixed, put it onto a floured surface and gently knead. Don’t overwork the dough.
- Roll the dough. Use a rolling pin and roll out the dough. You want it to be about ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle 1 T of the sugar on top of the dough, and then roll the rolling pin over the top of the sugar to lock it into place. Cut out. Use a cookie cutter and create 3-inch circles. Reroll the dough and repeat with the cookie cutter. This should give you 16 cookies. If there are any carrot pieces coming out the sides of the cookies, press them to secure them.
- Bake. Put the cookies onto the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Pay attention to the coloring of the cookies to know if they’re done baking. Once the 15 minutes have passed, the cookies should be golden brown with a soft texture. To
- Store. To keep the cookies as fresh as possible, let them cool down completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can be stored this way at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freezing. Can’t eat all the cookies at once? Add the leftovers to a freezer bag or container and store them in the freezer.
