Ingredients
½ cup margarine, softened
1 cup honey
1 cup carrots, grated
2 egg whites, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal, uncooked
1 cup raisins
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened margarine and honey until well combined and creamy.
Add the grated carrots and beaten egg whites to the margarine-honey mixture, stirring until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, oatmeal, and raisins. Mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly.
Gradually add the flour-oatmeal mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until all the flour is moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should come together without being worked too much.
Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 teaspoon each) onto a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even thickness.
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked routinely at any Charlotte chain—margarine, honey, carrots, eggs, oats, and raisins are all cheap staples. At roughly $0.15 to $0.20 per cookie, the cost per serving is very reasonable, driven mainly by pantry items that are often already on hand. The 25-minute stated time is honest for mixing and baking, though you'll need an extra 5 to 10 minutes if you're shredding carrots from whole. These cookies are forgiving, freeze well, and reheat beautifully, making them reliable for a busy weeknight or meal prep, though they are an extra task rather than a weeknight dinner solution.
