Ingredients
Cookies
- Butter: 1 cup, softened
- Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Egg: 1
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Flour: 1 and 1/2 cups
- Baking Soda: 1/4 teaspoon
- Baking Powder: 1/4 teaspoon
- Cinnamon: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Carrots: 1 cup, shredded
- Oats: 1/2 cup
Frosting
- Butter: 1/2 cup, softened
- Cream Cheese: 4 oz, softened
- Icing Sugar: 2 cups
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix: To a large bowl, combine and mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Combine: Add the bowl with the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the shredded carrots and then the oats.
- Bake the Cookies: Scoop cookie dough balls by the tablespoon and them place 1 inch apart on the baking sheet and bake them for 9-11 minutes.
- Frost the Cookies: To a separate bowl, combine and mix the softened butter and softened cream cheese and mix on high until smooth. Add the icing sugar and mix on low until fully incorporated. Wait until the cookies are completely cooled, and then spread frosting on the underside of half of the cookies and place the remaining half of the cookies atop the frosted cookies like a sandwich.
Notes
To make the cookies perfectly round, use a drinking glass with a wider rim than the cookies and turn it upside down over each cookie, moving the glass in a circular motion until they're round. This has to happen as soon as the cookies come out of the oven and are still hot!
Frost the cookies after the cookies have completely cooled to ensure the frosting doesn't melt.
