Instructions:
- Preheat Oven & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside. - Cream Butter & Sugars:
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. - Add Egg & Vanilla:
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. - Combine Dry & Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. - Fold in Carrots, Oats, Nuts, & Raisins:
Gently fold in the grated carrots, oats, walnuts, and raisins (if using). - Scoop the Dough:
Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. - Bake:
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. - Cool:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
