  5. Reading through the recipe I was expecting to see savory cookies but I see there is sugar in them and since the carrots are naturally sweet I think sweet cookies with carrots is a great idea.

  12. This is a really fun and pretty idea. I've never been a big carrot fan, but I think in this kind of context they'd be just fine.

    Oh, yeah, they are sweet when they are asleep....or they would make a whole room completely messy.
    @doggybloggy
    I must agree with you, the texture are more a biscuit or scone than a cookie.
    @lisaiscooking
    A quick corn bread for the breakfast would be yummy.
