Awesome little cookie! DH took one bite and said "mmmmm, a healthy cookie too!". I didn't have the heart to tell him about the half cup of butter... LOL! I made these exactly as written except I had to leave out the nuts. I did use a cookie scoop and they came out beautifully round and tall. I like that you can see and taste the carrot. YUM! Thanks for posting, Big Bad Brenda! Made for ZWT8 Family Picks. -
What a great biscuit -- and healthy too! Made exactly as written. A real treat. Thanks for posting. -
These were very good cakey cookies. I used a brown sugar alternative and the lovely spice of the cookies helped to disguise the fake sugar. Made for ZWT6. -
Absolutely great way to have your cake & eat it, too (especially in smaller portions)! Except for the fact that I used rounded measures of both raisins & nuts, your recipe was pretty much followed! A great keeper it is, too ~ Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed during the ZINGO part of ZWT6] -
Wow, Bren! These were exceptional! Really did taste like a high-quality carrot cake! My neighbors love you! Thnx for sharing such a great recipe! Made for the Voracious Vagabonds of ZWT 6.

<p>I have 5 kids, 12 grandkids and now have 6 great grandchildren. I don't get to see them as much as I would like. I love to garden and I am also a broadcaster on radio and the net.. Recently married to an American although remarriage is something I thought I would never do again. He traveled 3000 miles with his cat to come to marry me. <br /><br />I owned my own craft store for 10 years but gave that up after a huge craft discount depot opened just 4 blocks from me. I used to teach 6 days a week; crafts like quilting, dried wreaths, Christmas ornaments, etc.</p>
<p>I had open heart surgery and recovered nicely.I am not the best patient in the world as I want to get going and get back to work and my life as I knew it.</p>
<p>I have retired and do help out at a soup kitchen for the homeless and 1 morning a week I make French Toast at a community center that supplies 26 schools with free snacks and sandwiches for the kids <br />I have been knitting blankets for Blankets for Canada an organization that helps the homeless keep a little bit warmer. I also knit for many different charities that supply kids with warm clothes. So I still am busy.<br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt=/ /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/rjtofanelli/banners/zaarmamas.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt=width=50% /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/SaltPepperSwap.jpg alt=/ /> <br />[img] <img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG alt=/ /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/homepage/ZWT4-TeamCaptain.gif alt=/ /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif alt=/ /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/mini.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/4811_39528.png border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Birthday%20and%20Celebration%20Images/Calendargirls2.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/HolidayCardSwapBannerP-1.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif alt=/ /></p>
