The Bite-sized, Cookie Version of Carrot Cake

[@ericfinkelstein1667]

I think that those cookies look delicious and Carrot Cake is one of my favorite desserts of all time. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@SugarSpunRun]

You are welcome! Enjoy! :)

Hi Sam, so I had to tell you that I made these as a surprise for my dad at Christmas as he loves carrot cake. These were a hit & everybody loved them including me. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I will def make them on repeat!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yay! I’m so glad they were a hit! 😊😊

[@eileenparham4995]

looks really good,thanks!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You're welcome! Enjoy!

[@M.C.Blackwell]

These look incredible ! I love carrot cake and these look just as delicious..and agree on the no raisins. I bought a stand mixer at Aldi and finally opened it after a year. A hand mixer is just easier for a small batch of something.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love these, cookies! :)

[@jeffadams3959]

I just made these, and they are amazing! Just like a cake but way quicker and easier. Thank you, Sam, for another great recipe!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yummy. Carrot cake cookies. Pure genius 👏

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you 😋

[@deliaforet8997]

Sam, you're so hilarious. I love all your tutorials. I was thinking the same thing about the last cookie. Your poor mixer looks so lonely. Mine does, too. is so much easier to use the handheld than to pull out the big momma for the easy recipes . You're looking so cute.❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! I hope you love the cookies. :)

[@glendaharding4884]

Sam, you are so incredibly talented, and your cookie recipes prove that!! These look delicious, surely an Easter cookie! I think I will give them a go, also a fairly easy recipe too! Thank you my dear for all your hard work, it doesn't go unnoticed! Happy Easter to you and your beautiful and growing family!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! I hope your family loves them. :)

I stole this idea from a friend's mom. Being Asian, you'd never think you could make cookies out of carrots. Well, being Asian most of our desserts r made out of rice too. So there's that. But it's been decades later & not having any clue how to make it, I just threw all these internet recipes together & improvised w/ what I had. Not that I even remember being super crazy about them. I 🤷🏻‍♀️ just wanted to try them again. It's just that warm, fluffiness w/ chocolate chip chunks. I'm not even sure I made them right. I def didn't put in enough chips. But I put in maple syrup and not even that was sweet enough. Or I guess that gets diluted through the process. I put in straight sugar the second batch & those do taste like actual cookies. But the first, I might as well just be eating pancakes dipped in syrup. It's the grating part that takes forever. I made big chunks of carrots & little ones and I was so excited about my creation. It was eh. It was edible. But I bought so many carrots. Now I gotta keep making em. Or carrot cake. Something like that. My baby tried that first batch, waiting forever & she was prob excited too. All "mmm" then started getting cranky. Time came around & she just dug her little chunky fingers in there to dig for the chocolate chips & then passed out. I don't think she was the most impressed

[@susanhammitt7080]

Seeing you with the beaters just reminded me of when I was recently making your cowboy cookies. I was trying to get the bowl off the base to scrape the bowl and inadvertently turned on the beaters. Batter flying all over, the cat of course had to be involved! Well the joys of baking. I make more work for myself than I need to :). Have a great day and looking forward to making these. I will let you know how it goes. These are pretty!

They look awesome!! Is the cream cheese frosting a crusting frosting? How would I store the cookies? I’d like to make them for Easter but want to do my baking on Friday

[@SugarSpunRun]

It crusts some but it doesn’t become dry all the way through enough to be stackable. I store at room temp up to 24 hours and in the fridge if longer, airtight container

[@coffeechocolate7364]

Great idea about grating! I will try that!

Do you have a measurement on the amount of sprinkles to add? Excited to try this recipe later this week!

[@SugarSpunRun]

The sprinkles on top are purely decorative so I don’t have a good measurement for them. Add them as you like. 😊

[@mayonnaiseeee]

Oh no you didn't just put my favorite cake (cheesecake is a pie, right?) into cookie form. With oats too, I'm in. Thank you Sam, they look amazing - will be making these soon!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! :)

[@mahajan19neha]

I love these. The addition of Oats is a nice touch. What brand is the large bowl that you use in your recipes? I checked the linked products & it does not seem like Pyrex. Thanks for your time.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so sorry for the confusion! I use thy pyrex interchangeably with my anchor hocking bowls so I don't always grab the right link. I do have an affiliate link for the anchor hocking bowls. :) amzn.to/3J7JVEF

[@pamelaspurrell8067]

Hi Sam, how would you store these cookies? In the fridge or out? Thanks 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

They’ll be fine at room temperature in an airtight container for a day, but after that they should be stored in the fridge. :)

[@juicelareina750]

These cookies look amazing! Unfortunately I can't have them because of the oats. For some reason oats always give me a bad reaction. Could I omit them and replace with something else or would it alter the recipe too much?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Without having tried it, it's really difficult to say how substituting the oats will work. You could potentially try adding more flour, but I'd be afraid that would make the cookies too cakey. :(

[@yvettemarie9934]

Looks delicious! So does it taste more like an oatmeal cookie or carrot cake? Just wondering due to the oats.

[@SugarSpunRun]

The flavor is more like a carrot cake due to the spices, but you will have the texture from the oats. :)

[@yvettemarie9934]

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you!

Sam do you have a great American cookie ? They have a cookie called Chewy pecan supreme cookie, do you have any idea how to make that cookie? Thank you

[@SugarSpunRun]

I do not, but that sounds really good!

[@JimboJones99]

Great recipe. Have you tried this with browned butter ?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have not tried it, but it sounds delicious! The only thing I would be worried about is the cookies becoming a little dry from cooking the moisture out of the butter.

[@Susan-cooks]

Hi Sam! These carrot cake cookies look scrumptious. Do you think I'd have success making them into whoopee pies? I want to wrap individually to bring them to friends.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I think you could make sandwiches with them, but I think any filling would squish out when you bit into it. They would need to be adjusted to make a whoopie pie, cakey-like consistency. I haven't played with them to know how it would go.

[@hemasookram4655]

Can we sub the Oats for something else
