Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 cups old fashion oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup shredded apples
  • 3/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 3/4 cup nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a baking mat
  • In a large bowl combine the butter and the sugars with an electric mixer, mix until well blended. Add the eggs and beat in.
  • Add the vanilla and mix in.
  • Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until ingredients are combined.
  • Add the shredded apple, carrots, and nuts and stir with a wooden spoon or by hand until it is well combined
  • Drop by teaspoons on prepared baking sheets about 2-inches apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until slightly browned around the edges.
  • Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 1 or 2 minutes and move to cooling rack and cool completely.

Notes

  1. Make sure to have your ingredients at room temperature.
  2. Make sure to mix all ingredients thoroughly together. 
  3. Use a mini food processor for shredding the carrots and apples. If you don't have a mini food processor a box grater will work also.
  4. Turn the oven on when you start making the recipe. That way the oven will be preheated when the cookies are ready to go in the oven. 
  5. These cookies freeze well. Cool them completely before putting them in an airtight container to freeze.
  6. The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
