There is a lot of ingredients in this recipe, my best tip for you is to prepare and measure everything out before you start, it makes it easier and you won’t get overwhelmed you’ll be able to enjoy what you’re doing.

All You Need is:

• 1¼ cups plain flour

Next, add the dry mix to the wet mixture and beat on a low speed until combined.Stir in the carrots and walnuts. Cover the dough and leave to chill for 1hr and 15minutes.

Preheat your oven to 175℃ and prepare your cookie trays with baking paper.This recipe makes 8 cookies.

Take 2 tbsp of the dough and roll into a ball and place on your baking tray, do this with the remainder of the dough, leave 2inches between cookies to allow them to expand.Bake for 12-13 minutes.remove from oven and allow to cool on baking tray for several minutes.
