Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare shredded carrots by placing them on a paper towel to absorb moisture.
  2. Cream softened butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, carrots, and oats.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger before gradually incorporating them into the wet mixture.
