Instructions
Step-by-step guide
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Squeeze out and discard (or enjoy!) any excess juice from the shredded carrot.

  3. 3

    In a medium-size bowl, cream together the coconut sugar, butter, and coconut oil. Beat in the eggs, carrot, and vanilla until mixed well.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine the oat and almond flours, spices, baking soda, and salt and whisk until evenly incorporated.

  5. 5

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until evenly incorporated. Add the oats, coconut, flaxseeds, raisins, and walnuts. Fold until just incorporated.

  6. 6

    Scoop 1/4 cup of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten with the back of a spoon or measuring cup.

  7. 7

    Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until lightly brown and firm. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
