After-School Carrot Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup finely shredded carrots
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine butter and brown sugar in a large bowl; mix together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in carrots and egg.
Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg and salt in a bowl. Stir into carrot mixture, a little at a time, blending dough well after each addition.
Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet; flatten with a moistened fork.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool, about 15 minutes.
