CARROT COOKIES



Carrot Cookies image

We love these carrot cookies either plain or with butter cream frosting flavored with a little lemon zest and lemon juice, or try 1/2 recipe of Recipe #26165. These cookies have a nice cake-like texture--nice and soft. Note: Made these again today and thought I'd better add a comment. I made them about tablespoon sized and they cooked in 8 minutes. They don't need to brown on bottom--just cook until they are nice and firm.

Although carrot cake didn't appear in U.S. cookbooks until the second half of the twentieth century, today it is indisputably a classic and beloved American dessert. These delicious carrot-cake cookies incorporate the same ingredients into two wafers, which are sandwiched together with a layer of rich cream-cheese frosting.

BITE SIZE CARROT COOKIES



Bite Size Carrot Cookies image

Found this gem of a recipe in TOH March 2009 edition. I found the cookies to have a soft center and a nice spicy flavor. TOH gave hints on how to freeze the dough and bake later too which I added at the end of the recipe. I'm confused by what food.com calculates as calories as TOH listed these cookies as 50 calories a piece, 2 g fat (trace saturated), 6 g carb., trace fiber with diabetic exchange at 1/2 starch, 1/2 fat. I was surprised at what food.com has listed.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Carrots: Fresh carrots give the cookies a vibrant color and a naturally sweet flavor. Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color.
  • Grate the Carrots Finely: Finely grated carrots will distribute evenly throughout the cookies and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor makes it quick and easy to grate the carrots and mix the cookie dough.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Cookies Until Golden Brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Carrot cookie bites are a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. Whether you like them soft and chewy or crispy and crunchy, there is a carrot cookie bite recipe out there for you.
