I don't know if I'd even noticed this cookie recipe before Natalia of gatti fili e farina chose it for this week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe.
I'm a fan of carrot cake and had my fair share of rather good carrot cookies that my neighbor made growing up. But man, this was a new spin.
The cookies are almost scone-like and are packed with flavors like ginger {oh ginger!}, toasted pecans, sweetened coconut and golden raisins. They were so simple to make and I actually had all of the ingredients on hand. Perfecto.
The ginger was the star of the show. I think these would be delicious frosted with a light cream cheese drizzle. In fact, I'm pretty sure some Tuesdays with Dorie bakers did just that so be sure to visit their blogs too.
You will find the recipe for these delicious Gingered Carrot Cookies on Natalia's blog.

I had all the ingredients on hand and I love it when that happens. I love ginger and I was happy that was such a strong flavor in these cookies.
I'm with you girl. I never noticed these cookies in the book until this week because Natalia chose them. Boy was I missing out. Loved them. Yours look perfectly delicious.
Ciao Becky ! Thank you for joining me this week ! I'm so glad you liked these !!!
You are right about the scone-like quality! I was trying to think how to describe them to my sister over the phone and that's it...thanks, that's definitely it. Yours look wonderful, love the lighting in that shot.
I loved the ginger in these too! I didn't make a drizzle, but I did put them in cream cheese ice cream. Yum!
oops! I have to admit that I didn't notice this recipe at all until it's being chosen for TWD. ;-) Your cookies look perfect!
Those look great. A little bit too much ginger for me, tho. Next time - cinnamon.
i agree, this one surprised a lot of us, in a good way :)
These are winners. I love the drop-biscuit look of yours. I'm happy to have a stash of dough in the fridge that I can bake up later today for a snack. Reading everyone’s posts always makes me want more of whatever we have made.
so good! love your photo!
These cookies are a success story. Yours look great.
Your cookies look like perfect little bites. Well done!
These were so good! Love your photo.
Yes, cream cheese completes these! But maybe that's just my frosting tooth talking...
Yours look awesome!
I liked these more than I thought I would. But definitely WITH the cream cheese frosting.
You really liked this cookie, didn't you? I will add them to my must make list. I love that they kind of have a healthy ring to them . . .
I agree, these cookies were a surprise. I didn't have high expectations, but they turned out to be truly addictive. They're soft and light, but very satisfying. The raisins complement the coconut, and the carrot is present without being overbearing.
Really good stuff. Thanks, wife!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this recipe but I ended up loving these cookies! A keeper recipe for sure. Love your picture!
I'm with you. A total surprise and we loved them too.
