Carrot Sugar Cookie

man, im uber slow at unpacking! My suitcase is lying in front of the doorway. Good thing we don't use that door :p okay well maybe im not that slow at packing. I actually cleaned out one entire suitcase. It's the one with the food in it! Haha, I go to Japan for 3 weeks and come back with 1 1/2 suitcases filled entirely with food! Haha, yea that's me!

So on to today's recipe. It actually doesn't have anything to do with my packing, instead it has carrots in it. I cut the carrots into chocolate chip sized pieces, so the cookie tastes like a sugar cookie, but has mini carrot pieces. I think next time I will grate the carrots and put them into the cookie along with the carrot pieces. You know, up the carrot factor  :)
