Carrot Cake Oatmeal Lace Cookies – delicious flavors of carrot cake incorporated into thin, buttery, crisp oatmeal lace cookies. A family favorite cookie that can serve a crowd.
I think we have finally turned the corner on Winter; the trees in our neighborhood have started to bloom and the weather is beautifully sunny and breezy during the day. I’m so ready for the flavors of Spring to fill my kitchen, like my favorite Strawberry Bread and Lemon Bars.
When I think of Spring, I think of carrot cake. It’s my Mom’s favorite dessert, and I always try to bring one for Easter Dinner. I decided to incorporate the yummy flavors of carrot cake (carrot, cinnamon, maple) into my favorite oatmeal cookie. The result was a delicious, oatmeal lace type of cookie. The dough spreads while baking and creates a crispy, buttery, thin little cookie.
My kiddos gobbled these Carrot Cake Oatmeal Lace Cookies up. The didn’t even notice the texture of the carrots when mixed in with the oats. When a cookie is full of oats and carrots, I don’t feel bad letting them grab a few extra. I’m planning to crumble one up over my Greek yogurt in the morning for a decadent breakfast treat.
