Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (or a nutrient-dense alternative like oat flour)
- 1 cup Finely grated carrots (freshly grated for best texture)
- 1/4 cup Milk (dairy or your preferred plant-based milk)
- Melted dark chocolate (for decoration—optional, keep to a minimum for young toddlers)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Base: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the flour and finely grated carrots.
- Form the Dough: Gradually add the milk. Mix with a spatula until combined, then gently knead by hand until a cohesive, smooth dough forms.
- Roll and Cut: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use a rolling pin to roll it to your desired thickness. Use a fun, flower-shaped cookie cutter to create the cookies.
- Bake: Transfer the shapes to your prepared baking tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use a piping bag filled with melted dark chocolate to draw smiley faces, adding a touch of interactive fun to your child’s snack time.
Dr. Reham’s Nutrition Tip:
Carrots are an excellent source of Beta-carotene, which is essential for healthy vision and immune support in growing children. Using cookie cutters makes food visually appealing, which can help increase acceptance of new textures and flavors in picky eaters!
