Good to know

Chef's tip

You can replace the almond flour with shredded coconut 🥥 for an exotic touch, or add some orange zest for extra zing 🍊. And for even softer cookies, let the dough rest for 10 minutes before baking! ⏳

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good. Baked cookies keep up to 2 months in a freezer bag. Raw dough freezes for 1 month.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container at cool room temperature or in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The dough can be made the day before and kept in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. The baked cookies can be made the day before.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Can be reheated for 30 seconds in the microwave or 5 minutes at 150°C in the oven. Avoid the air fryer (dries them out).

Variations

Add crushed walnuts or hazelnuts to the dough.
Drizzle with melted dark chocolate in zigzags.
Replace the dark chocolate with white chocolate.

Mistakes to avoid

Grating the carrots too coarsely: grate them finely.
Drizzling hot cookies: wait until they are lukewarm.
Baking too long: 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
