It was cookie making time at my house this last week. One of my amazing bloggy friends Amy had a birthday a while back and posted her favorite cake was Carrot Cake. I knew a cake wouldn't ship very well so I was on the search for a cookie! I found one that had a cream in the middle but that would be pretty shipping so it was on to another one! Of course I couldn't do just ONE cookie, so mom gave me a bottle of Nutella and I had to find a way to bake with it!
First Recipe:
Carrot Cake Cookie found on Allrecipes.com
Ingredients
ALEXIS NOTES: I had a chuck can of pineapple so I shredded it, used some golden raisins I had on hand, used half whole wheat and white flour and skipped the walnuts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Second Recipe:
Peanut Butter and Nutella Oatmeal Cookies found on Simply Life
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used crunchy and loved the added texture it gave!)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3 giant spoonfuls of Nutella (maybe somewhere around 3/4 cup???)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mix butter, sugars and peanut butter. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Add into flour mixture and stir. Slowly stir nutella into the mixture.
ALEXIS NOTE: Again switched the half whole wheat and white flour, I had creamy peanut butter and I also added in a little nutmeg.These made 2 very large batches so I made up two care packages. One for Amy and her family and my boss and their family. I love to bake and now my own neighbor moved I now will have to send my goodies across the country ... lol. I've been told everyone loved them!

ReplyDeleteThat KitchenAid got a workout!
ReplyDeleteI am a carrot cake lover so I couldn't wait to try this recipe and I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. Oh my goodness. I doubled the recipe and grated 2 small apples with the carrots and pineapple (used 2 1/2 cups total on those 3 items). The cookies had a nice cakey- "muffiny" texture. I'm going to do a cream cheese frosting drizzle over the top. Thanks for sharing-- can't wait to freeze some of these for portion control.
