Nabisco\u2019s perpetual announcements of new Oreo flavors elicit varied feelings of jubilation, shock, and disgust from the general public. I, for one, was delighted when I learned they were releasing Carrot Cake Oreo, since carrot cake is my all-time favorite dessert. <\/p>\n
Just like everyone else, I was surprised that this seemingly Easter-themed cookie was being released in early January. But if you don\u2019t like that, you don\u2019t have to buy it yet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When I first opened the package, I got a strong whiff of the \u201ccream cheese frosting flavor creme,\u201d which I will just call \u201ccreme cheese.\u201d On second thought, that sounds terrible. Even though the creme doesn\u2019t use any real cream cheese, the aroma is spot on.<\/p>\n
When I bit into the first cookie, I was amazed. Nabisco nailed it! It really does taste like carrot cake! There\u2019s a bit of an aftertaste that doesn\u2019t exactly mimic a real cake, but that\u2019s a minor quibble.<\/p>\n
![\"Carrot](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Carrot-Cake-Oreo-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450&ssl=1\" "\\"Carrot")
<\/p>\n
Next, I isolated the elements. The creme tastes exactly like cream cheese frosting. I don\u2019t know how they did it without any dairy products, but it works. (If you don\u2019t like cream cheese frosting, stay far, far away.) It\u2019s probably the same filling they use in the Red Velvet variety, but I didn\u2019t compare them side by side.<\/p>\n
On its own, the cookie is only vaguely reminiscent of carrot cake. It tastes like a graham cracker with spices; in fact, I\u2019m guessing they took the graham cookie they use for some of the pie flavors and added \u201cspice\u201d to it. (\u201cSpice\u201d is what is named on the ingredient list.) But I\u2019m not complaining, because it\u2019s still a fine cookie, and it works so well with the filling. There might also be some orange-colored specks in there; it\u2019s hard to tell.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there are no carrots in the ingredients, so the stereotypes don\u2019t apply here. These cookies won\u2019t give you better eyesight, your pet rabbit won\u2019t like them, and you won\u2019t turn orange from eating too many.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Of course, any Oreo must be tried with milk. For this particular flavor, I didn\u2019t much care for it when I dunked it. It made the cream cheese creme far too overpowering. But I did enjoy having the milk on the side.<\/p>\n
I like my carrot cakes soft and moist. (I know some of you hate that word, but I don\u2019t care. Moist moist moist!) If, however, you\u2019re craving a carrot cake that is crunchy and dry, this is exactly what you need.<\/p>\n
