Carrot Cake Cookies is my recipe of the day for the blogging event Spring Sweets Week. Associated bloggers have been posting yummy recipes all week long in relation to this. I am posting this recipe today which is my second one for this event. I also posted on Monday. Feel free to follow my events calendar on the lower right.
I decided to bake some carrot cake cookies. They are a spinoff of my favorite Spring cakes. And as easy to make as chocolate chippers using some Hershey’s Crem Cheese chips to be a stand in for cream cheese frosting.
Along with shredded carrot, raisins, nuts and spices, they fill out well. While I often like cookies with milk or coffee, these are perfect with orange juice or orange drink/seltzer. It brings out the best in the flavors.
