I posted a lovely recipe last week for Passover, but I couldn't let the month go by without sharing something sweet for Easter as well. I usually take my own version of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs to the family dinner, but ever since I stuffed peanut butter balls with brussel sprouts for an April Fool's prank a few years back when Easter fell on April 1, the family hasn't been too keen on my peanut butter desserts. Hilarious at the time, but now I'm left searching for new recipes every year to pop on the dessert table. (Truth be told, I'd do it all over again because I still giggle thinking about how mad they were at the prank lol). I can never go wrong with my soft batch chocolate chip cookies because that's my #1 most requested dessert (you can find that recipe in the search bar to the right), but I just made those for my mil's birthday and wanted to contribute something more suited for the Easter/spring season and ultimately decided that I'll be taking
Toasted Oatmeal Carrot Cookies, a Golden Blossom Honey recipe, this year.

While I'll never turn away any cookie, I am more prone to reach for a soft baked cookie over a crisp one, so these immediately piqued my interest. I love a good carrot cake, but have never had carrot cookies before, so I was eager to give these a try. They had a perfect blend of sweet and warm flavors and indeed baked up soft and chewy, moving them to the top of my favorite springtime cookie recipes. I wouldn't go as far as calling them healthy, because a cookie is still a cookie after all, but with the oats, raisins, and carrots, we could call this a breakfast cookie, and since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, that makes these cookies a great way to start the day, no? Don't rain on my parade and answer that. Just let me live my life, one breakfast cookie at a time.
