Gingered Carrot Cookies - Tuesdays with Dorie

Gingered Carrot Cookies
Gingered Carrot Cookies

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Natalia of gatti fili e farina chose Gingered Carrot Cookies on page 162 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Gingered Carrot Cookies
I skipped the coconut (of course) and selected dried cranberries instead of raisins. I feel these didn't have enough carrot flavor. Perhaps I should have used the larger shreds of carrots (I used the finely shredded size of the grater).

Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers!

    My in-laws do a carrot cookie with an orange juice/powdered sugar glaze, but it's with cooked, mashed carrot.

    Oh, unrelated: made a Bundt Sunday, thought of you.

    I cheated and upped the carrot :) Cranberries sound wonderful!

    Yours of course look perfect! :) I think I would have liked cranberries better in these as well.

    THAT'S what was missing. The carrot flavor. They were good with frosting.

    I went with cranberries as well. The carrot flavor is subtle, but I still liked them a lot.

    I grated on a large hole and got carrots flying out of my cookies everywhere! Very nice!

    Cranberries sound delicious, although the currants weren't bad. We couldn't taste the carrots at all.

    I don't think that these tasted like carrots, but I was ok with that. Ginger was the strongest flavor in the ones that I made, and I love ginger.

    All that other stuff interfered with the carrots! Good stuff though - and I used the small grate as well. Oh well - guess we need to find some "carrot extract" huh?
