Today we are using an accidentally vegan cake mix to make these delicious carrot cake cookies. They come together in less than 20 minutes, with only a handful of ingredients. If you don't like baking or just aren't very great at it, like myself, these cookies will be your new favorite recipe!
Ingredients
1 15.25oz box of carrot cake mix, most are vegan friendly (we used Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of apple sauce
Vegan friendly cream cheese frosting (Duncan Hines cream cheese frosting is also accidentally vegan)
1/2-3/4 cup diced walnuts (Or you can use any type of nuts you prefer or omit them)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350
In a large bowl add your first 3 ingredients
Mix until well blended
Scoop about 2 tbsps of mix and roll into a ball
Place onto parchment lined baking sheet
Repeat with remaining dough
Leave enough space between each ball so they don’t touch
Place into oven and bake for 9-11 minutes
Don’t overcook, they will harden up as they cool
Let cool
Spread tops of cookies with icing
Sprinkle with walnuts or nuts of choice
Serve and enjoy!
Can be stored in air tight container for 5 days
Enjoy!
