For a limited time only, you can pair your [Subway sub of choice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baja-chipotle-turkey-sub) with a tasty Carrot Cake Cookie. Just like Subway's other cookies, the new carrot cake flavor is rich and chewy. The cookie is made with freshly grated carrots, spices, and a smattering of raisins. To up the sweetness, the cookies are drizzled with a sweet icing that's likely meant to taste like the cream cheese frosting used on carrot cakes. Though there's no officially end date for the Carrot Cake Cookies, you can bet this seasonal treat won't stick around for long.
