They taste like a slice of carrot cake, but are so much easier to make! Recipe includes a how-to video!

These carrot cake cookies are one of my favorite cookies, even if they are made with vegetables. Just like my carrot cake cheesecake, I think a lot of my love for them has to do with the cream cheese frosting piled on top!

I never thought I'd be so excited to share cookies covered in worms, but I guess that's just what happens when you're a boy mom 🤷‍♀️ These dirt cookies are inspired by the dirt pudding cups my mom used to make when I was a kid. They are quite tasty, so much fun, and my boys absolutely love them! /p>]]> https://sugarspunrun.com/dirt-cookies/feed/ 4 Mint Chocolate Cookies https://sugarspunrun.com/mint-chocolate-cookies/ https://sugarspunrun.com/mint-chocolate-cookies/#comments Thu, 29 Feb 2024 13:00:00 +0000 https://sugarspunrun.com/?p=59563 My mint chocolate cookies combine fudgy chocolate cookies with creamy mint frosting and rich chocolate ganache.

Some days, you just need a good chocolate cookie, and for that I have plenty of options: double chocolate chip cookies, brownie cookies, and even flourless chocolate cookies will all do the trick. Then there are days when you need a chocolate cookie that's so rich, so indulgent it should come with a warning...and that's when these chocolate lava cookies do their best work.

Neapolitan cookies might not be the first cookie you think of adding to your Christmas cookie tray, but I'm here to make case for them. Not only are they absolutely adorable and unique, but they have a little something or everyone (just like the ice cream!). A little sweet, a little fruity, and of course, a little chocolatey--these are the ultimate crowd-pleasing cookies!
