I LOVE THIS RECIPE! I have 3 huge bags of carrots and it's going to be fun thinking of new ways to use them ;) Your recipe is perfect and thanks so much for submitting it to the group. It's a high "5" all the way!

Great sounding cookie - the contrast of the carrots with the orange frosting sounds like the "something different" I've been craving...thank you!
