How to Make Oatmeal Carrot Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Stir in 1 ½ cups rolled oats.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup milk, 1 cup grated carrots, and ½ cup raisins.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
