Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Measure all ingredients. Sift dry ingredients and set aside. Place carrots in food processor and pulse till carrots are a fine shred. Set aside. Place sugars and butter in a standard mixer and using the paddle attachment beat until sugar and butter are creamed. Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy and no traces of egg remain.
Next, combine the dry ingredients, carrots and milk to the sugars and blend until just combined. Using an ice cream Scoop place dollops of batter aprox. 2 inches apart onto a lined baking tray and bake for 11-13 minutes. Turn the tray halfway through baking for even browning. Cool on the tray and remove with a spatula and cool completely. Fill with your favorite cream cheese filling or just pop one off the tray and eat it on its own.
