Chewy Carrot Cake Cookies

Moorish cookies with just the perfect amount of squish to them, they'll go in one sitting!

You will need:

2 large baking trays (to spread out the cookies on)

1 x mixing bowl

Ingredients: (makes 16-18 cookies)

- 200g soft brown sugar (I use 100g dark + 100g golden caster - anything goes really! )

- 100g roughly grated carrot (approx 2 medium carrots)

- 125g unsalted butter (at room temp)

- 170g plain flour

- 1 tsp mixed spice (or cinnamon)

- 1 medium egg

- 1 big handful of sultanas/goji berries/dried cranberries (I do a mix)

- About 50g nuts (walnut/pecan/flaked almonds all work!)

- 30g desiccated coconut

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Method:

- Preheat your oven to 160 Fan / 180 ° C (non-fan)

- Line the baking trays with baking paper

- Mix the sugar and butter together until smooth in a large mixing bowl

- Add the egg and mix

- Add everything else in and mix until all combined nicely

- Spoon tablespoons of the mix into round balls (spaced out quite a bit as they will spread!)

- Bake for 12-14 mins (12 if you want gooier, they firm up when cooling)

- Leave to cool on a cooling rack for a few mins before indulging!
