Carrot Spice Thumbprint Cookies
Carrot cake is a family favorite, and these delicious cookies taste just like it with shredded carrots, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, cinnamon and cloves. And they're topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. Who could resist? Each cookie is like eating a piece of carrot cake, but with no fork needed! —Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

Taste just like carrot cake
These are very good. The cookie part of the recipe is perfect as is, and I will absolutely make these again! The only caveat is that the frosting as directed is too sweet, in my opinion. I ended up doubling the cream cheese in order to be able to taste anything but powdered sugar, but I think just halving the sugar next time would accomplish the same thing.
I made these for a friend who LOVES carrot cake and now he's not sure which he likes best - my carrot cake or these cookies! The cookies taste great and are a fun way to get carrot-cake flavor. I omitted the walnuts but it was still delicious. Highly recommended!
Made these for my family. ABSOLUTELY wonderful just as written..and with a request to put them in my dessert rotation,,and suggested i use the recipe in my bakery. THATS really something!!!
These are wonderful! Soft, spice is perfect! Great for the upcoming Easter holiday! I used butter in place of margarine.
Delicious! I did replace the margarine with butter. Great cookie that next year will be in my Christmas Cookie plates I give out.
