Who doesnt LOVE carrot cake?! I am a huge fan of it,
I am even a bigger fan of these cookies that are bites of carrot cake HEAVEN!
This is a from scratch recipe that uses real carrots and it is beyond delicious!
Super simple!
I used pecans but you can easily use walnuts or another nut of choice!
Moist and slightly chewy- so perfect!
Packed full of that flavor we all love so much!
These have a Orange Cream cheese frosting that is to die for!
hhhhhhhhhhhh
I couldnt resist taking a big bite- for the pics of course 😉
The combination of the frosting with the carrot cake is phenominal!
These lasted about a day in my house- seriously LOL
With frosting or even without- DELICIOUS!
