My friend Mary made these delicious Carrot Spice Cookies for New Year’s Eve. I have to say that they are quite addictive. If you like carrot cake, you will love these cream cheese frosting topped treats. The recipe is from Betty Crocker and is made using carrot cake mix. The cranberries and cream cheese frosting are the perfect addition to the carrot cake flavor.
Carrot Spice Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker carrot cake mix
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 eggs
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat cake mix, flour, butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Stir in cranberries.
- On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting on High 10 to 15 seconds or until frosting is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle frosting over cookies.

If these taste anything like carrot cake, my husband would love them!
YUM! these look SO GOOD!
I made a Betty Crocker mix recipe the other day, and I really am starting to respect that website. They have tons of creative ideas on there. I haven’t seen this one, but I do dig carrot cake, so it sounds great to me
Wow, I have *got* to try that cookie recipe! The combination of carrot cake and cranberries sounds deliciously perfect
awh wow, those cookies look good! Anything with cranberries is good to me though
I’ve never tried using a Betty Crocker recipe (there’s not much choice in England!) but I do love baking
If anyone fancies checking out my blog (I started it today!!) I’d be very grateful – you’d be my first reader!
Good luck in 2010 and any future baking missions…:P

Heavenly looking cookies!!
This tastes so good
Thanks for an encouraging post on writing, even if what I’m writing isn’t what I love. In my day job, I sometimes do technical writing and it is sooo boring. The readers don’t read it because they ‘want’ to, but because they ‘have’ to. At least I can make it as easy to read as possible, and care enough to reflect my best attempt.
what a great idea- im going to use that lonely box of carrot cake mix i have sitting in my pantry and put it to good use with your recipe- thanks!
Oh my! Carrot cake and cranberries! What’s not to love? Gotta make these!
We were looking for an interesting *but yummy* recipe for my sister’s baby shower this weekend. I think this is perfect! She is in love with anything with cranberries, so this should be a real treat. Thanks so much for the recipe. Kudos.
