BLUE RIBBON CARROT CAKE



Blue Ribbon Carrot Cake image

The best carrot cake ever, this cake has a rich buttermilk caramel glaze poured over the warm cake before icing with the cream cheese frosting. This recipe came from "Culinary Crafts", a Salt Lake City based catering company, but I have tweaked this recipe a little to suit my taste. * COOKS NOTE: I use only REAL butter, and REAL vanilla. Carrots should be finely grated. The amount of powdered sugar in the cream cheese frosting depends on how sweet you like your frosting. . . I prefer a less sweet cream cheese frosting that tastes more like cheesecake..

CARROT CAKE COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Carrot Cake Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

A tasty twist on a classic cake! Crunchy pecans paired with chewy raisins and sweet shredded carrots make these cookies the perfect no-fork-needed dessert. And let's not forget, each cookie oozes with a delectable cream cheese filling.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup carrot, shredded
1 cup raisin
½ cup pecan, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, flour, and vanilla. Mix with a fork until smooth.
  • Scoop 16 teaspoon-sized balls of icing onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180˚C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Do not use a silicone mat--if the bottoms of the cookies are too thin, the silicone will stick to the cookies and the icing centers will fall through when removed from the pan.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, and beat with an electric hand mixer or whisk for 1-2 minutes, or until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, 1 at a time, then the vanilla and cinnamon and beat until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
  • Fold in the carrots, raisins, and pecans with a rubber spatula.
  • Scoop 16 heaping tablespoons of dough onto 2 prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 3 inches apart. Flatten each scoop with moistened fingers.
  • Place a frozen icing ball in the center of each dough round.
  • Top the filling with another scoop of dough and use moistened fingers to flatten and seal the edges so the filling is completely encased.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are light brown. Be careful not to overbake or the filling will ooze out.
  • Let the cookies cool completely. This is important! If you try to lift the cookies before they are cool and the icing is still warm, it could fall through the cookies.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. If possible, use organic carrots and freshly grated nutmeg.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: The ideal temperature for baking carrot cake cookies is 350°F (175°C). If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Before you frost the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These carrot cake cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. Whether you're a fan of carrot cake or just looking for a new cookie recipe to try, these cookies are sure to please.
