Super Carrot Cookies

I am determined to get Adi to eat more veggies, so what better way then to put them in a cookie! I made these this morning, and there are a lot of ingredients. They are pretty good. I am thinking of putting some green apples in here next time!

Super Carrot Cookies

1/3 cup canola oil

2/3 cup light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 egg

2 Tablespoons maple syrup

1 cup grated carrots

1/2 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

1 cup white whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, and egg, mixing until smooth. Add syrup. Stir in the carrots, cranberries, chocolate chips, pecans, flour, mixing gently until well combined. Add the oats last, making sure they are thoroughly distributed throughout the bowl.

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough into prepared sheets, leaving about 1 1/2-inches between them. Bake the cookies until they're just barely set on top - about 12 to 15 minutes.
