Time 40m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup carrot, finely grated (3-4 carrots)
3/4 cup grated peeled apple (1 apple)
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup walnuts, chopped coarsely
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven.
  • preheat oven to 350*.
  • line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • sift flour, baking power, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar and orange zest until smoothly blended -- about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during mixing. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until blended, about 1 minute. Mix in the carrots, apple, raisins, coconut and walnuts.
  • The batter will become quite liquid from the moist carrots and apples.
  • on low speed, add the flour mixture ,mixing just until incorporated. the dough will be soft and sticky.
  • using an ice cream scoop, preferably, or measuring cup with 1/4 cup capacity, scoop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies at least 2 1/2" apart.
  • bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the bottoms are browned and the tops are pale but firm, and a toothpick inserted near the center of a cookie comes out dry, about 20 minutes.
  • cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes., then using a wide metal spatula, transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  • dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar -- if desired.The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
