Love carrot cake but don’t want the hassle of baking and assembling a layer cake? Make these carrot cake cookies instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves lends the cookies that classic spiced carrot cake flavor, while freshly grated carrots add lots of texture and moisture to the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cookies can be eaten as is, but I prefer adding homemade cream cheese frosting to my batch. To me, no carrot cake dessert is complete without frosting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This easy recipe uses ingredients you can find year-round, but it’s especially perfect for enjoying around Easter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
