Low-Cal Low-Fat Oatmeal Carrot Cookies image

Adapted from another low fat oatmeal cookie recipe because my kids are allergic to apples and applesauce.

Provided by Lissa.Blair

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 20m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup carrot, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whole grain oats
4 tablespoons skim milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, followed by the carrots and vanilla. Using your hands, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined, adding the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until fully combined. This will be really really sticky, don't worry!
  • Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each cookie slightly. Bake for about 8-10 minutes.
  • Let cool on sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. They will provide a chewier texture than quick-cooking or instant oats.
  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal carrot craisin cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Experiment with different add-ins, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit, to create your own unique cookie recipe.
