TWD: Gingered Carrot Cookies
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie was chosen by Natalia of gatti fili e farina.
I was a little hesitant about this week’s project, but only because I wasn’t sure how well carrot cookies would go over with the family. Some of the kids like carrots raw, one only likes them cooked, and the only other treat they’ve had them in has been carrot cake.
Of course, I shouldn’t have worried! These cookies are delicious – soft and very moist with just a slight carrot flavor. I actually made them Sunday and there are only a handful left as of today.
I’ve still got enough of the ingredients to make another batch, which I’ll probably do again this weekend. I also decided to add a little more “obvious” sweetness and did a thick frosting of cream cheese, powdered sugar and a little milk. As for the cookies themselves, I added a pinch of cinnamon (I couldn’t help it) and I also left out the raisins since I’m the only one who likes them in cookies (my family is weird). They were perfect!
Ciao Heather ! Thank you for joining me this week ! I’m really happy your kids loved the cookies !! Great swirl !

I’m glad you’re so excited about this batch of cookies. Sounds like you’ve got a difficult bunch of kids to deal with, thank goodness this cookie went down well with them.

Hi Sihan! Your pictures are beautiful!
Thankfully the kids aren’t so hard to please with most other foods, but carrots, for some reason, they tend to be particular about 😀

Cinnamon. Wish I had added and left out the ginger. And they were much better frosted. Like the squiggle.

Hi Margaret! The frosting was definitely a good addition. I wish I had made more so I could actual frost a few of mine instead of just doing a squiggle, but I’ll know better for next time! I bet they would taste fantastic with a bit more cinnamon/little less ginger, too.

Try these sandwiched with cream cheese frosting! My kids also like Morning Glory Muffin/Muffin bars (bake the muffins in a 9 inch square pan instead of a muffin tin)
