Time 1h30m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pouch Betty Crocker™ oatmeal cookie mix
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup fat-free egg product
4 oz (half of 8-oz package) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
1 tablespoon light butter with canola oil, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie ingredients until stiff dough forms.
  • On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In small bowl, mix all frosting ingredients, except nuts, with spoon until smooth. Spread frosting over cookies. Sprinkle with nuts. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, grated carrots. This will give your cookies the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a sweet treat. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give carrot cake oatmeal cookies a try!
