These are very moreish. Soft, large and chewy cookies with an equally soft and delicious frosting. They are best kept in the refrigerator. These really did not last long with my husband and I having a friendly debate about who should get the last cookie!
This just seems like a healthy cookie. Very little carrot in these cookies but enough to give these cookies their unique softness and golden color.
These cookies are a delicious treat to have in the refrigerator. Ian and I loved these cookies, and I can see I will have to make them again soon. I think I will make them for Ian when I make something with allulose blend, which his tummy cannot handle. He will be more than satisfied!
I highly recommend using freshly grated carrots and not pre-grated carrots. They will be so much nicer. I love that these cookies have all the cozy flavors of carrot cake.
I think lining the cookie sheet with parchment paper is a must for these cookies. They are fragile at first once baked, but allow to chill and they firm up, plus once in the fridge they firm up even more. Delicious cookies that I am sure you and your family will also enjoy!
