Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies

April 9, 2017

  • 17

This combo of carrot cake and oatmeal cookies will have you making batch after batch of these beauties.

You’ll need to they disappear quickly.   

 

I have loved carrot cake FOREVER,

these cookies are no different.

I thought I was going to put a glaze icing on 1/2 of the cookies, but no matter how many batches I’ve made I never got around to glazing them.

I did however, slather some whipped cream cheese on them and WHAMO, they were even better than carrot cake.

Perfect if you don’t prefer things overly sweet.

 

The outside of the cookies are slightly crisp, which I really love and the inside is moist enough to resemble carrot cake without the cookies being too cakey.

The addition of oatmeal really adds to the yumminess of the cookies.

 

If you want to “see” the carrot pieces on tops of the cookies be sure to reserve some grated carrot to top the cookies with before baking.

The aroma of these baking will have everyone flying to the kitchen. I just love desserts with cinnamon… don’t you?!?

    Which side of the grater did you use for the carrots==the soft side (carrot cake) or the grated cheese slivers

      I used the larger grated cheese size. (I’m not sure what the “soft side” is. You can use any size grated carrot, if it’s smaller you’ll see more pieces than is you use a large grater.

    […] Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies– These cookies are crisp on the outside, which is so GREAT and the chewiness inside makes them a comfort cookie through and through. […]
