Step 7: Add in the chopped or shredded carrots.
Step 8: Fold the carrots into the cookie dough.
Step 9 and 10: We used an ice cream scoop to place the cookie dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 11: Bake the cookies in an oven pre-heated to 375 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Step 12: Here is what the cookies look like just out of the oven. Golden brown and delicious and chock full of sweet delicious carrots.
Step 13: While the cookies are cooling, make up a batch of our super delicious The Best Cream Cheese Frosting. You can find the recipe and detailed instructions on how to make this frosting right here.
FROSTING THE CARROT CAKE COOKIES
Steps 14-15: Frost the Carrot Cake Cookies with the Best Cream Cheese Frosting using a spreader or a knife.
Steps 16-17: Chop up some pecans. You’ll need about a cup of chopped nuts. Use the chopped pecans to create a circle of nuts around the edge of the cookie. The pecans should stick on the just applied Cream Cheese Frosting.
Step 18: That’s all there is to it! You now have a yummy frosted cookie that tastes just like a piece of Carrot Cake. Enjoy!
