Carrots are not normally found in cookies, but they act as a great natural sweetener while adding moisture. I also replaced half the chocolate chips with dried cranberries. These cookies are tasty and a good source of fiber.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup non-fat plain yogurt
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup carrots, shredded
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat butter, yogurt, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time. Beat in vanilla extract. Mix in flour and baking soda until just incorporated. Fold in quick oats, walnuts, chocolate chips, carrots, and cranberries. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
Step 3
Bake in preheated oven until cookies are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Editor’s Note:
This recipe is a healthier version of Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
