A delightful blend of sweet and savory carrot biscuits that are soft, slightly sweet, and have a hint of spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • ½ cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grate the carrots finely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: softened butter, brown sugar, egg, and grated carrots.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh, organic carrots for the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
  • Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for added flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
