Not only are these cookies delicious, they are super quick & easy to make!! This is a recipe that I guarantee you'll remake multiple times!


One of the most important things in this recipe is to use fresh carrots and grate them yourself. I have tried making these with store bough shredded carrot and not only are they too dry, but they do not have that yummy carrot taste after cooking.

These are perfect for a quick breakfast in the morning. I love to heat these up for a couple seconds in the microwave and then top with a dollop of yogurt and some cinnamon.

    Thankyou for this great little recipe. How long do you think the cookies will last? Can you freeze them?

      The cookies are good for up to one week if stored in an airtight container! I have never tried freezing them, but I’m sure they would freeze & thaw well.
