These cookies were wonderful!! I did add a little nutmeg and cardamom powder. I also did not frost the cookies, I figured I could eat more :) I also just put the walnuts in the batter. The cookies were so moist and soft. They really do taste like a piece of carrot cake. Thank you for a great recipe!!
