Instructions
- Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat Becel® sticks, cream cheese and brown sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg, yogurt and vanilla until blended. Gradually beat in oat mixture just until blended. Stir in raisins and carrot.
- Turn dough onto waxed paper and form into four 7-inch-long logs. (Dough will be sticky). Wrap tightly and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°. For 2 servings, slice off four 1/2-inch rounds from log, then refreeze remaining dough until ready to bake. Arrange frozen cookie slices on baking sheet. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Bake 8 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set. Cool 2 minutes on wire rack; remove from sheet and cool completely.
TIP: Need more cookies? Slice, then bake as many as you need using the above directions.
