Butterscotch Carrot Cookies
My girls and I are obsessed with these cookies! The carrots and the butterscotch pair so well together! These are lower sugar and rich in whole grains and nutrient rich ingredients. Great for a snack, dessert, or even as part of a balanced breakfast.
Servings: 12 (2 cookies per serving)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 Tablespoons butter softened
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 egg
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Beat the sugar and butter. Add the egg and continue beating.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix until dough forms.
- Scoop out dough and flatten the cookies slightly with a fork before cooking since these don't spread much.
- Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!
