Last week, I shared my favorite Carrot Cake recipe. I love that cake, you can’t go wrong with a classic carrot cake, but we all know my heart belongs to cookies! So I decided to create a carrot cake cookie! Yay! I made Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies with Cheese Glaze and they are wonderful! Do I dare say they are better than the cake? I love them both, so I will let you decide. And you really don’t have to choose a favorite, you can have BOTH! Two desserts are better than one!
There is nothing healthy about my carrot cake, well, except for the carrots. I am fine with that because it is dessert, but I wanted to create a healthy-ish cookie. You know, so I can eat cake and cookies:) For the cookies, I used white whole wheat flour, oats, and coconut oil. I also used carrots and raisins so these cookies have veggies and fruit…they are practically a super food:) If you want to throw in some chopped nuts, go for it! And if you are part of the raisin hater club, you can leave them out, but we love them!
Cream cheese frosting is a must when it comes to carrot cake, so I made a simple cream cheese glaze to drizzle over my cookies. The glaze gave the cookies the perfect sweet finish!
If you are a carrot cake fan, you will love these Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies with Cream Cheese Glaze. They are the perfect spring cookie! I am going to make a batch for the boy’s Easter baskets. I will make sure the Easter bunny puts a few in my basket too:)
