Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine coconut oil and sugars, mix until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. Next, add the shredded carrots. Mix until combined.
- Slowly add flour mixture until just combined. Stir in oats, coconut, and raisins.
- Drop cookie dough by heaping tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden around the edges and set. Remove cookies from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the cream cheese glaze. Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies. Let cookies sit until glaze hardens up. Serve!
- Note: You can use whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour instead of white whole wheat flour. Use the same amount.
Notes
For a variation, use whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour instead of white whole wheat flour.
