How to Make Orange Glazed Carrot Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup grated carrots until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest until smooth. Add more orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
