Copycat Crumbl Cookies

Since we are on the topic of carrot cake, and I had A LOT of extra carrots, check out my last post, I decided to do cookies as well! Now, this is not the same recipe as before, no cake mix required. And these cookies are not as “golden” as the muffins.
I love a good cookie recipe. I am experiencing with different ways to perfect a cookie! Stay tuned for this recipes!! For the cookies, I used a regular sized cookie scoop and a large one; I like options!
