Fact: I thought these were going to just be cookies that taste like carrot cake. WRONG. I started second guessing as soon as I realized there wasn't any cinnamon in the recipe. Scandalous, Dorie!
That doesn't mean they aren't good. They're actually very good. Unexpectedly good. I wanted to put cream cheese frosting all over them (like Holly did) and use up all my points for the day eating them, but somehow (magically), I only ate two. They're gingery, but not too gingery. The perfect amount of gingery-ness, I think.
Oh, and I switched out the pecans for the walnuts, because that's how I roll in carrot-cakey recipes.
Thank you, Natalia, for your choice! (We're almost name twins, we should be friends.)
