CARROT CAKE COOKIES
These are very large, substantial cookies that will remind
you of carrot cake. The
original recipe called for 1 cup butter and 2 cups of grated carrots. I opted for half that amount to keep the
carbs in line and besides many people are afraid of carrots. The glycemic load (which is what counts) is
extremely low for carrots! I think they
got a bad rap!
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2
cup PLUS 6 tbsp butter, melted
(215 mL)
Liquid sweetener to equal 11/4 cups sugar (300 mL)
1/4 cup granulated sweetener of choice, OR (60 mL)
2 tsp vanilla extract (10 mL)
1/8 tsp salt (0.5 mL)
31/4 cups
Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR (800 mL)
Grain-Free Bake Mix, OR Keto Bake Mix, OR
Grain-Free Bake Mix, OR Keto Bake Mix, OR
almond flour PLUS 4 or 5 tbsp oat fiber
21/2 tsp cinnamon (12 mL)
1 tsp baking powder (5 mL)
1 tsp baking soda (5 mL)
1 cup finely grated carrot, chopped (250 mL)
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, softened (250 g)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened* (60 mL)
2 tsp vanilla extract (10 mL)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In food processor, process eggs, butter, liquid
sweetener, granulated sweetener, OR coffee sweetener, vanilla extract and salt.
In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR alternative, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Add to wet ingredients; process. Stir in carrots. Use a cookie scoop {2 tbsp (30 mL)}, to scoop
cookie batter onto greased cookie sheets.
Flatten cookies with back of spoon.
Bake 13 to 15 minutes, or until a deep golden brown underneath and just
beginning to brown around the edges.
Cream Cheese Frosting: In food processor, process cream cheese,
liquid sweetener, butter and vanilla extract.
Helpful Hint: *If preferred, make 48 cookies at half the
number of carbs. These are very large
cookies. *Unsalted butter is necessary
in the frosting or it will be a salty-tasting frosting and not sweet!
