As much as you want to think the carrots in these cookies will magically make them healthy, that's not really the case. It has all the shortening, flour and sugar that you'd expect from a regular cookie. However, with the rolled oats, carrots and raisins, this is a more filling cookie. So perhaps your craving for something sweet will be satiated more quickly. Even if they don't, moderation will help you enjoy this yummy treat, even if they can't be considered "health food."
