Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Precaliente el horno a 180 °C (350 °F). Cubra una bandeja grande para hornear con papel pergamino. Reserve.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrots, applesauce, melted and cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir well to combine.
- Fold in the self-rising flour, dried raisins, and chopped walnuts.
- Stir for a few times until the dough is smooth and thick.
- Form 12 cookie dough balls of the same size and place them on the baking sheet leaving them an inch apart.
- Lightly oil your hand and press down the top of each cookie dough ball to form flatter cookies. These cookies expand in the oven so make sure they are not placed too close or they will touch each other as they bake.
- Bake the cookies on the center rack for 16-19 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the sides are nicely golden brown.
- Let them cool down on the rack for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- If you want to decorate the cookies, wait until they reach room temperature – cold to the touch.
- Stir the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and thick.
- Drizzle on top of the cooled cookies, then add a pinch of crushed cashews.

Ingredientes y sustituciones
You only need a few ingredients for these cookies. Here’s how to pick them (and swap them if you need).

- Zanahoria rallada – This provides the signature carrot cake flavor and moisture.
- Salsa de manzana sin azúcar – It acts as a binder and adds moisture. Mashed banana also works.
- Aceite de coco derretido – This adds moisture and richness. Refined coconut oil (for no coconut flavor), light olive oil, or melted plant-based butter also work.
- Azúcar de coco – It sweetens the cookies and adds a subtle caramel flavor. Any crystal sweetener like sugar, brown sugar, or demerara sugar works. Maple syrup makes them more gummy.
- Extracto de vainilla – Esto realza el sabor general.
- Canela – It adds a warm, sweet spice and totally necessary for carrot cake flavors.
- Jengibre – This adds a bit of zing and complements the cinnamon.
- Harina con levadura – This provides structure and lift. I don’t recommend almond flour or coconut flour. For a gluten-free option, use my convertidor sin gluten, pero no olvides el polvo para hornear.
- Pasas secas – These add sweetness and chewiness. Hemp seeds or more chopped nuts are fine. You can also use dried cranberries.
- Nueces picadas – These add texture and nuttiness. Sunflower seeds or other nuts like cashews, almonds, or pecans are fine.
- Azúcar en polvo – This is used for the icing, adding sweetness and a smooth texture. You can use a sugar-free alternative like powdered allulose if you prefer.
- Leche de almendras – This is used to thin the icing. Any dairy-free milk works, like cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- Anacardos picados – These are used as a decorative topping.

Consejos de repostería de Carine
Permítanme compartirles algunos consejos más para lograr galletas perfectas.
- Impulso de proteína – Swap raisins for hemp seeds to increase the protein content.
- Nut Variety – Use a mix of nuts like pecans, almonds, walnuts, or cashews for a richer flavor.
- Icing Addition – Add the icing and chopped nuts on top for enhanced taste and presentation.
- Spice Enhancement – Add 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg for a deeper spice flavor.
- Tiempo de enfriamiento – Allow cookies to cool completely before icing.
- Tamaño de la galleta – Ensure cookies are spaced to allow for spreading.
- Libre de nueces – Sunflower seeds are a great substitute for nuts.







Turned out fantastic and hubby approved! The only changes I made was a swap with avocado oil and I soaked my raisins. Can’t wait to try different add ins.
That’s so nice that hubby approve them too! thanks for the nice review.
