Notes
- You will be using grated carrots for this recipe. A box grater is perfect for this purpose, just don't grate the carrots down too far or you run the risk of scraping your fingers.
- Try these carrot cake cookies topped with cream cheese frosting for a more authentic carrot cake flavor. You can also place frosting in between two cookies to make carrot cake sandwich cookies.
- You can use a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet if you don't want to use cooking spray. This also makes for an easier clean-up.
