• Take spoonfuls of the dough and shape them into small cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Nutritional Benefits:

• Spiced Carrot Cookies are packed with nutritional benefits. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which supports eye health and boosts immunity.
• The inclusion of almond flour adds healthy fats and protein, contributing to satiety and muscle maintenance. Rolled oats provide dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
• Coconut oil offers medium-chain triglycerides, which are known for their potential energy-boosting and metabolism-supporting properties.
• The spices used—cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg—not only enhance flavor but also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making these cookies a tasty and healthful choice.
