¼ tsp. salt 
 ½ tsp. ground cloves 
2 tsp. ground cinnamon 
1 cup oats 
¾ cup brown sugar 
¼ cup granulated sugar 
225g butter, softened
2 large eggs 
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 175º C. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon and oats. Mix well and set aside. With a mixer, beat together sugars and butter in a large bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add carrots, coconut and walnuts. Blend until combined. Batter will be lumpy. Add flour mixture and blend at a low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. Place tablespoons of mixture onto greased oven trays and bake for 13-15 mins. Immediately transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

Add saltanas, extra nuts and carrot. Make mixture very lumpy.
