Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Melt the butter and allow it to cool as you prep the rest of your ingredients. Grate the carrots finely, and gently blot using a paper towel. Do this twice to absorb the carrot juices and set aside.1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cups shredded carrots

- Add in the grated carrots and whisk in.3/4 cups shredded carrots
- Mix in the dry ingredients with a spatula. Mix until just combined and no dry streaks appear.
- Scoop 6 cookies at a time, about 3 inches apart from each other. I like to use a cookie scooper to make this step easier and it gets the perfect scoop every time.
- Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes or until the edges have set and the inside is still slightly puffy and underbaked. The cookies will remain baking as they cool.
- These carrot oatmeal maple cookies are best served day of or for the next 3 days. They are a soft cookie, so they stay good just on your counter or in the fridge, you don't have to place them in an airtight container.
