Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Stir the grated carrots into the wet ingredients, then gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Add walnuts and raisins if using.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes
Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from grated carrots with a paper towel for the best texture. These cookies taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together. For a cream cheese frosting drizzle, mix 2 oz softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons honey and drizzle over cooled cookies.
