These Carrot Cake recipes – Carrot Cake Bars, Carrot Cake Bread, Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars, and Carrot Cake Oatmeal – are other favorites to make around this time of year. This recipe is essentially everything you love about carrot cake but in cookie form! Most of the flavor comes from the cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and carrots and the velvety cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. These cookies have a super moist crumb, are soft and chewy, and are wonderfully spiced, just like carrot cake. You won’t be able to resist them!
