Carrot Cake Cookies

~ WARNING you may eat more than 2... or 3.....  uhhhhhh nevermind.......

Thanks to Kristy over at Mommy Hates Cooking for inspiring me to FINALLY make cookies with cake mix(she has a healthier version of cake mix cookies too)!  I had some carrot cake mix so that was my cookie of choice.  Apparently I am the last one to make these kind of cookies using cake mix.  I was SO excited to make them and take them to the school for people to try, turns out they have ALL made them before!   HA, so my excitement fizzled.  Next time I'm going to try the red velvet mix!

Carrot Cake Cookies
1 box carrot cake mix (or whatever your favorite is)
1 stick of butter (melted)
1 egg (you can use and additional egg white if you want a less dense cookie)
1tsp. Vanilla
1 tub cream cheese frosting


Preheat oven to 350
add all ingredients except frosting in bowl and mix
I used my mini scooper just to be cool
no need to grease the sheet because we used butter
bake 12-15 min or until slightly cracked on top
I cut the tip of a baggie to frost the cookies
Uhhhh HELLO I had to take a bite right away!

These were so moist and chewy!  I will be making them again!

The mini-scoop is so cool! I am planning this for this afternoon! I LOVE cookies, love carrot cake, have all the ingredients, and am out of things to nibble! They look delicious.
