Oatmeal Carrot Craisin Cookies

  4.0 – 6 reviews  • Drop Cookie Recipes

a creative, entertaining twist on the classic caipirinha from Brazil. It has a nice depth that comes from the aça. I used defrosted aça pulp that had been frozen. Additionally, I make wonderful caipirinhas with only red grapes.

Great taste, I added extra oatmeal as the batter was pretty wet and cookies were flat. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar first then add the other wet ingredients. (Ingredients list is a bit out of order) I also added a bit more cinnamon. Bake on parchment as other reviewers suggested.

Followed recipe but 1st batch of cookies were runny, so added more oatmeal, that didn’t work , so put the rest in a 9 x 9 and made cake! Yummy!

Terrible

I cut the sugar in half and they turned out very tasty. I’m not sure if it’s because I cut sugar out but they were more like a muffin top, not like a cookie. They were great right out of the fridge!

These are fantastic. Next time I would prepare the liquids separately as the other reviewer suggested. I baked them on parchment paper. I would definitely recommend that. I found no need for the salt. I left it out and didn’t miss it at all.

I needed a recipe to use up some carrots & came across this recipe. It was perfect! Used exact ingredients so subs, the only difference is I mixed all dry in one bowl & all wet into another & then added all the wet to the dry. They came out great!!! Really good recipe thanks for sharing 🙂 Kiddos loved them
