Soft and Chewy Spiced Carrot Cake Cookies
"All the flavors of richly spiced carrot cake, in cookie form. Soft, chewy, extremely moist, and not at all cakey. They're loaded with texture from the carrots, oats, raisins, and butterscotch chips. If you prefer your carrot cake without raisins or butterscotch, feel free to omit. I love the juicy pop of the raisins and the sweet, butteriness the butterscotch chips lend. As cookies go, theyr'e on the healthier side, and one of my new favorites. They'd also make great sandwich cookies filled with cream cheese frosting...."
