Carrot Oatmeal Cookies
I found basis of this recipe in one of my MIL's magazines. Since I have my husband on a diet restricting meat, dairy, processed sugars, and white flour, I am trying to find creative ways to help satisfy his sweet tooth. These aren't very sweet but bake up nicely and "hit the spot". You could also add 1 cup of chocolate chips if you want it a little sweeter. What a wonderful way to eat your carrots!!!
