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.
