Carrot Cake Crinkle Cookies Recipe posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe The sun was out today!!! Which is beyond exciting to me. I am SO ready for spring for so many reasons: warmer weather and sunshine, my husband’s graduation, and finally moving back to my hometown in North Carolina! Lots of fun things we have to look forward to in the coming months. Since I’m not a very patient person, I’ve decided to urge Spring along by making lots of spring-time dessert recipes. …I’m hoping it speeds up the time between now and graduation. Carrot cake isn’t actually one of my favorite flavors. But my husband loves it. And I can get on board with carrot cake mix— but only the kind made with teeny-tiny carrot bits and absolutely no raisins. So every year around Easter time (and my husband’s birthday sometimes), I’ll do some fiddling around with carrot cake and usually end up with a few recipes we really like. Keep in mind if you like a chunkier carrot cake, my recipes can always be adapted to your tastes by using a different cake mix (when the recipe calls for a mix, of course) or adding extra carrot shavings/raisins/pineapple/whatever else you like in carrot cake.

I like carrot cake, muffins, and I am sure I would love the cookies. I have made my own cake mix a couple times so I am sure you could do it with the other carrot recipes. Where is your home town in North Carolina? Reply
I have never had carrot cake in a cookie form…but I LOVE this idea! And how easy they are! Pinned! Reply
Ashton, I am totally with you on baking to force spring to come ๐ It crept up to 40 degrees yesterday and I wanted to shout with gladness! These cookies look like the perfect treat anytime, and if they make spring come any faster, all the better! Reply
I added a picture of it in the links just above the recipe to help with any confusion– my favorite is Betty Crocker (but ONLY for carrot cake. Other than that, I’m a Duncan Hines junkie). Reply
