Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies (made with coconut oil!)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl mix together coconut oil, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined; next fold in shredded carrots. Add in flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in oats, coconut, pecans, and raisins.

Step 4

Use a small cookie scoop and drop by tablespoonful on prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten with your hand. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Cool cookies for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 5

To make the glaze: Combine powdered sugar, almond milk and cinnamon in a bowl. Drizzle a tiny bit over cookies, then let dry. Makes about 18 cookies.
