How to make
In a bowl, mix the flour, powdered brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Add the butter and rub with your fingers, until it is absorbed by the dry mixture and slightly moistened.
Grate the carrots on a fine grater, mix with oil and the orange peel. Add thatto the dry mixture and mix with a wooden spoon, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Take small portions of the dough with a spoon and place them at a distance in a tray covered with baking paper. Form round cookies, not too thin and without having to be perfectly smooth.
Stick a small piece of walnut in the middle of each cookie.
Bake them at 360°F (180 degrees) in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are slightly browned.
Leave the soft carrot cookies to cool and serve them with a cup of milk, tea or coffee. They are also suitable for decorating and accompanying a ball of vanilla ice cream.
To keep them soft, store them in a clean bag.
If you have made them thin, they may become crunchy after they have cooled down, so either make them thicker or close them in a box while they are still slightly warm.
Enjoy!
