Mix spelt flour, oat flakes & baking powder in a bowl
Mix soft butter and sugar with a hand mixer until the sugar has dissolved (mix for about 2-3 minutes)
Add vanilla extract and cinnamon and beat again
Briefly stir the flour-oat-baking powder mixture into the dough.
Fold grated carrots, chopped walnuts and chocolate chunks evenly into the cookie dough using a spatula
Form two teaspoons of dough into a ball with your hands and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving about 3 cm between each ball. (Little tip(Note: no more than 6 carrot-walnut cookies per baking sheet, so they bake evenly without sticking together.)
Bake the carrot and walnut cookies for about 25 minutes at 170°C. Since ovens vary in baking time, you should check the oven after 20 minutes: if the cookies are golden brown and look crispy, they're ready to take out. Even if they still look raw in the middle, they'll continue to bake outside of the oven and will be just right 😉
After the carrot-walnut cookies have cooled on the baking sheet outside the oven for about 5 minutes, carefully lift them onto a cooling rack and place a small chocolate bunny or chocolate egg in the center of the cookie as a decoration. The warmth of the cookie will melt the chocolate slightly, and the chocolate bunny will be fixed to the cookie. A delicious little decorative highlight.Alternative: You can, of course, also fix the chocolate bunnies and eggs with a little melted chocolate after the cookies have cooled. This won't detract from the decoration; you'll just have to melt some more chocolate afterwards.
Die Cookies auf dem Abkühlgitter gut abkühlen lassen und anschließend in einer Blechdose aufbewahren und die einzelnen Cookie-Schichten mit Backpapier trennen oder direkt vernaschen
