Ingredients
  

  • 150 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 75 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 100 g grated carrots (about 1 medium carrot)
  • 50 g shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 100 g apple compote (for serving) optional
  • Extra chopped pistachios (for garnish) optional

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)
  • whisk
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, whisking until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but chewy.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature, topped with apple compote and a sprinkle of extra pistachios if desired.

Notes

Feel free to swap the pistachios with your favorite nuts if you want to change up the flavor.
You can also experiment with adding spices like nutmeg for a warm twist!
If you have any leftovers, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
For longer storage, freeze the cookies, and simply thaw before enjoying!
Don't hesitate to get creative with your presentation; drizzling some melted chocolate over the cookies can make them even more irresistible!
