- Yields:
-
20 cookies
ingredients
- 2 3⁄4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3⁄4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup carrot, finely grated (3-4 carrots)
- 3⁄4 cup grated peeled apple (1 apple)
- 1 cup raisins
- 1⁄2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped coarsely
- powdered sugar, for dusting
directions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven.
- preheat oven to 350*.
- line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- sift flour, baking power, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar and orange zest until smoothly blended -- about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during mixing. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until blended, about 1 minute. Mix in the carrots, apple, raisins, coconut and walnuts.
- The batter will become quite liquid from the moist carrots and apples.
- on low speed, add the flour mixture ,mixing just until incorporated. the dough will be soft and sticky.
- using an ice cream scoop, preferably, or measuring cup with 1/4 cup capacity, scoop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies at least 2 1/2" apart.
- bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the bottoms are browned and the tops are pale but firm, and a toothpick inserted near the center of a cookie comes out dry, about 20 minutes.
- cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes., then using a wide metal spatula, transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar -- if desired.The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

These are superb! Light, fluffy, yummy and easy to make! I used applesauce instead of the grated apple and a jar of carrot baby food in place of the grated carots. I loved the coconut in these, and I'm not usually a big coconut fan. It's just a small amount, so you don't get a huge bite of coconut. I'll probably be making these once or twice a month, if not more! Thanks! -
These are awesome. I also would like to know how much sugar the actual recipe calls for. I used 1/2c sugar and 1/2 c brown sugar. They turned out great. I also didn't have an apple but I used dried apple bits instead. Lisa -
Awesome!! Substituted pureed bananas for the butter, came out awesome!! Also made a gf batch with pamelas and bananas and they were also awesome -
I made these to use up some ingredients I had, but they just weren't for me. The flavors were good, but the texture was more like a muffin. -
this is a very good cookie and very versatile. followed recipe except for dusting with powdered sugar. the recipe directions state to add sugar (im assuming regular or brown) but didnt specify how much which was no problem; i used 1c brown sugar and they turned out great. will make these again as they have great taste; great soft but not caky texture and have healthful ingredients in them.
