I was craving cookies last week and since we are trying to eat healthy, I decided that adding veggies to cookies makes them healthier.
Am I right?
Please tell me that I’m right because these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Zucchini and Carrots are delicious! So delicious that you won’t be able to eat just one.
I’m pretty sure I at at least four just moving them from the cookie sheet to the cooling rack.
I had no idea that adding carrots and zucchini to oatmeal raisin cookies would be such a great combination! And since I will take cookies over cake any day, these might just be my new favorite dessert.
