I personally didn’t develop a love for carrot desserts until my adult years and have to grab a slice of carrot cake from Kneader’s every couple of months. I love it with nuts and carrot chunks, what do you prefer?
Look at that icing…mmm! It is the perfect topping to these cake light cookies, so airy and chewy and flavorful!
Please PIN so your friend’s can enjoy these too!
