This is a new blog event for me. It's a Cookie Carnival that Kate from The Clean Plate Club hosts. A cookie recipe is distributed monthly amongst participating bloggers, then they bake and tell all about it for the round up. Sounds fun, and guarantees cookies each month! Check out the February round-up here.
This month's recipe Inside - Out Carrot Cake Cookies couldn't be something more fitting could it? See, this month is my Husband's (the BIG 4 0! Shh!) birthday, and I usually bake a German Chocolate cake or carrot cake for him as those are his favorite. But I have decided to make him the German Chocolate cake, and make these to have now. We're celebrating another Birthday next month, so I'll do a carrot cake for that. Anyways...

We thought these were great. Perfect little bite sizes of cake! For the filling, I added in some pecans and whirled it all in the food processor. I kept these stored in a covered container, and they sure turned sticky after each day, but still yummy!
(TIP: use a cookie scoop for uniform sized cookies)

Your cookies look awesome!! Mine totally flattened out. I wish I knew what I did differently. They sure do taste great though!
I have that same cookie sheet and pad. I just got it, I have used it a few times and the grease from the cookies adhears to the pad and I cant get it all off for the life of me. Soap, water, HOT HOT HOT water. does yours do that?
those cookies look so yummr

Kelli- there is a care sheet that should've come with your silpat.I let them soak in hot soapy water for a few mins, the wipe and rinse then hang dry. It's natural for it to have spots on it from where the food is, even discoloring is ok. Here ya go: http://www.silpat.com/Care-Use.html
I LOVE my silpats, I don't bake without them! (I'll use parchment still in cake pans)

Welcome to the Cookie Carnival! Your cookies turned out great. I baked them, but I haven't filled them yet. They're in the freezer waiting. Happy 40th to your DH!
Hi Rachelle,

That is crazy amazing! Carrot Cake cookies?? Who would've thought! I'm going to try out the lovely recipe! Thank you so much! I LOVE the way you used an ice cream scoop and your textured map.
And thank you for popping by my blog! ;)
Those look fantastic, Rachelle! I'm keeping them in my "to do" folder!
...a great way to have the full flavor of carrot cake (or yeah, cookies) when SOME people in the house don't like cream cheese frosting... I won't name anyone, but them know who I'm talking about! LOL I can just frost them as I go! Yesssssss!!!
