Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup grated carrot (about 1 large carrot)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Cream cheese frosting (for drizzle, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

        Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture until well incorporated.

          Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Add-Ins: Gently fold in the grated carrots, oats, walnuts (if using), and raisins or dried cranberries (if using) until evenly distributed.

              Scoop the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart since they will spread a bit.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked.

                  Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Drizzle with Frosting (optional): Once cooled, drizzle cream cheese frosting over the cookies for an extra touch of sweetness.
