Carrot cake cookies are a delightful twist on the classic carrot cake, packed with the same warm spices and sweet, earthy flavors. These cookies typically feature grated carrots, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and sometimes raisins, all blended into a cookie dough that’s reminiscent of the beloved cake. They’re often spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, providing a comforting and familiar taste. The cream cheese frosting, a hallmark of carrot cake, can be drizzled or sandwiched between two cookies, offering a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. These cookies are a delightful way to enjoy the essence of carrot cake in a convenient, handheld treat.
