- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg

- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease 2 cookie sheets to prepare them for baking.
-
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cardamom, and cinnamon. Mix them together until well incorporated.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the butter with the light brown sugar until fluffy and creamy, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes of mixing.
-
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract until fully combined with the butter-sugar mixture.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually beat in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until a smooth cookie dough forms.
-
Fold in Carrots, Pecans, and Raisins: Stir in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough, adding a burst of flavor and texture to your cookies.
-
Drop Dough onto Baking Sheets: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough by generous tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading while baking.
-
Bake: Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake the cookies until the edges are lightly browned, which typically takes around 15 minutes, resulting in perfectly golden-brown treats.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Then, indulge in these irresistible Carrot Pecan Cookies with your loved ones!
