Carrots in Cookies??

Well, I was looking for something really different and ....I found it with the carrot cookie recipe. The only change I made from the one on allrecipes.com was to lower the oven temperature. They sound very strange but are very tasty, trust me as I've eaten enough of them in the past few hours to know. They aren't dry like some oatmeal cookies but chewy.

Peanut Butter Carrot Cookies

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, and peanut butter.
Add in the egg and the milk. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda and stir in. Stir in oats. Add in the carrots and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen.

We were discussing / rating the cookies at supper tonight and Crystal and Beth decided that it's sort of like when you use zucchini in cake and you don't taste it but as I mentioned "you can taste carrots when you cook and eat them separately though, zucchini are still tasteless". They both gave them a 7/10, although Crystal found them quite sweet and would've added some sort of spice. Tim obviously enjoyed them (even though he's not a fan of peanut butter cookies) gave them an 8/10 and ate 4 or 5 this afternoon. So, a definitely make these again attempt. I'm thinking they'll likely keep well with the carrot to keep them moist.
