Carrot Oatmeal Cookies with Cranberries and Chocolate Chips

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I come from a family of sweet tooth-s; everyone takes “small slivers” of each dessert and there are always plenty of cookies, pies, cakes, and puddings at family gatherings.  My grandpa keeps a stock of sweets like Honey Buns and a full cookie jar.  Since he moved into a new place, I wanted to make sure he had some sweet treats to keep him full.

While perusing Cookie Princess’s blog Secrets from the Cookie Princess for this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I looked for a recipe that would be “grandfather” friendly!  A recipe with oatmeal, carrots, and cranberries just scream grandparents, but trust me, people all ages will enjoy these cookies.  I added chocolates because, why not!  With the applesauce, carrots, and oatmeal, it almost feels like you could justify eating these cookies for breakfast.  Do it!  That’s my favorite part of the holiday season, eating cookies every day for breakfast; at least these are healthier!

I still haven’t finalized my holiday baking list, there are too many ideas and recipes with too little time.  Now that I’m done with grad school for the semester, I can have all fun!  These cookies are all the fun too!  They are super moist from the applesauce and tender from the oatmeal and carrots.  The cranberries and chocolate chips add texture, flavor, and interest.  Finally, the cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg add the best of flavors.  It’s time to make cookies!
