I wasn't sure about these cookies at first, but I'm so glad I tried them! They're surprisingly delicious. The carrots add a subtle sweetness and moisture to the cookies. I'll definitely be making these again.

I thought these cookies were just okay. They were a bit too dense for my taste. But the flavor was good.

Not a fan of these cookies. The carrots were too overpowering and the spices were too strong. I won't be making these again.
