Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the cookies from sticking. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring just until everything comes together. Fold in the oats, grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts so they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. Scoop generous spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each, and sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top for a nice crunch. Bake the cookies for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying!
