  • Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.
  • Cream Butter:
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt to the butter. Beat until well combined.
    • Beat in the egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Add Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add flour, mixing until the dough begins to come together. You may need to switch to a spatula to mix in the remaining flour. Stir in the grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts, mixing just until combined.
  • Form and Bake:
    • Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of Turbinado sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly golden.
  • Cool:
    • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
