Carrot cake cookies with homemade cream cheese frosting : ) Soft, so flavorful and not overly sweet. 
I added a small amount of chopped walnuts to the dough. Perfect amount of sugar & spice! The cookie is soft with a cake like texture. A new favorite + I’ll always be team carrot cake. This recipe is a keeper! 🧡😃🥕
Stay healthy & safe! #bakersgonnabake
