Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make homemade carrot cookies? Prepare your food. Choose carrots that are fresh, juicy, and without dark spots. Butter must be of high quality, complying with GOST. Remove it from the refrigerator in advance to soften it. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. You don’t have to use nuts, or you can chop them and put them in the dough. Cookies with raisins will also be delicious.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the carrots well, dry and peel. Grate it on a fine grater. The finer the carrots are grated, the yellower the cookies will be.
