Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons apple butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup Gold Medal® white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup grated carrot (about 2 large carrots)
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, apple butter, and sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • In a small bowl (or right in your measuring cup), mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the wet ingredients. Fold in the oats, then stir in the remaining ingredients. The dough will be very thick and slightly sticky.
  • Scoop two tablespoons of dough into a ball (it will be about the size of a donut hole) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten to about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake 12 minutes; let cool completely.
  • If desired, make a thin glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and orange juice. Drizzle over the cookies.
