Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely grated or food processed carrots
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In your mixer bowl or large mixing bowl add in butter and sugar. Cream together for 1 minute. Add in salt, soda, cinnamon, and vanilla and mix until combined. Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Now add in your flour, oats and carrots.
I used a small scoop for my cookies. Since there will be 40 cookie, 20 double cookies. Put it on a parchment lined cookie sheet leaving a space in between and bake for 11 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes on the pan and then remove to a cooling rack. Let it cool completely before putting on the filling.
Cream Cheese Filling
1- 8oz. block of cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp butter
1-3 tsp milk (this all depends on your mixture)
Combine all ingredients. Put the cream cheese on the flat side of the cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
