👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Carrot Cake Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla, then mix well.
Stir in the grated carrots, then add the dry ingredients, oats, and any add-ins like nuts or raisins.
Scoop small spoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 tbsp) onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Cool completely before filling.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat until fluffy and spreadable.

3. Assemble the Cookie Sandwiches

Flip one cookie upside down, spread or pipe on a generous dollop of cream cheese filling.
Top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to help them set (optional but helpful!).
