These are a great little cake like cookie, not real sweet. BUT you should cook the carrots first, smash them up and then..make a butter cream frosting with zest of an orange and juice of the orange! Perfect tea cookie!!!!

This receipe piqued our interest and after reading previous reviews, my husband and I decided to saute the carrots in 1/2 tbsp butter before adding them to recipe; came out very good - sauteeing brought out the natural sweetness in carrots.

The most tasteless cookie I have ever tasted. Think there is to much baking powder in it. Will not make again.

These cookies are not bad, but they are not good either. They are not too sweet, which is good, but they seem to be missing something. My toddler likes them because of their simplicity.

This is a cookie anyone would like. Great texture and flavor although the carrot does not add too much taste to it. Nice change -

these cookies taste like a tea cake which I like, you can't really taste the carrots, so I sugest if you make them leave out the carrots.
