How to Make Carrot Pecan Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, ¼ cup orange juice, and 1 teaspoon orange zest until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 2 cups grated carrots.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting and top with extra pecans, if desired.
