  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350F. Position oven racks in middle. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

  • 3
    Stir in remaining cake mix, grated carrots, raisins and drained pineapple with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are moistened. Dough will be stiff.

  • 5
    Bake for 11 to 14 minutes or until set at edges and just barely set at center when lightly touched. Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheets. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely. Frost cool cookies with cream cheese frosting.
