Chewy Carrot Cake Cookies Topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Set aside.
  2. Shred carrots and squeeze excess liquid from the shreds by wrapping in a clean kitchen town and ringing out.
  3. Add all ingredients but coconut butter topping to a large bowl. Mix with a spoon until incorporated.
  4. Using a ¼ cup, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet. Shape into cookies on the pan. The dough will be a bit loose, but it will hold together once baked. Repeat with remaining dough, making 10 cookies in total.
  5. Transfer baking sheet to preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden on the bottom.
  6. Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle each cookie with melted coconut butter.

Notes

Honey – if you do not want to use honey, maple syrup or coconut nectar may work.

Coconut butter – is to coconut as almond butter is to almonds. Coconut OIL is something different. Coconut oil is to coconut as olive oil is to olives.
