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.
