I just baked a double batch of these cookies. It made 5 dozen large cookies. I baked them for 20minutes and the turned out perfect. thanks -
Very yummy! Crunchy but pliable, of course very similar to oatmeal cookies but the carrot adds an interesting texture as well as lots of nutrition. I thought 25-30 minutes at 350 looked too long; mine were thoroughly done between 15 and 17 minutes. Thanks, grandma, I'll definitely make these again!
