  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs large, room temperture
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 3 cups oats whole rolled, old fashioned
  • 1/2 cup carrot shredded (about 2 whole)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together, set aside.

  • Add the eggs and mix well, until combined, about 1 minute.

  • Then, fold in oats, carrot, apple, cranberries, raisins, and seeds.
  • Using a scoop, or large spoon, place the portioned dough on the baking sheets about 2 inches.  
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes until lightly browned.

Notes

This dough freezes very well. When the cookies are portioned on the cookies sheet place them in the freezer for 4-6 hours, then place the uncooked, frozen cookies in an airtight container or freezer storage bag. When you're ready to bake follow the normal baking instructions adding 3-5 minutes of cook time.
