Yield Makes about 13 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coarsely grated carrots (2 medium)
1 scant cup walnuts (3 ounces), chopped
1/2 cup raisins (2 1/2 ounces)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 2 baking sheets.
  • Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat together butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in carrots, nuts, and raisins at low speed, then add flour mixture and beat until just combined.
  • Drop 1 1/2 tablespoons batter per cookie 2 inches apart on baking sheets and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until cookies are lightly browned and springy to the touch, 12 to 16 minutes total. Cool cookies on sheets on racks 1 minute, then transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.
  • While cookies are baking, blend cream cheese and honey in a food processor until smooth.
  • Sandwich flat sides of cookies together with a generous tablespoon of cream cheese filling in between.

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots have a sweeter taste and more nutrients than older carrots. You can shred the carrots using a food processor, box grater, or vegetable peeler.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them chewy.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature helps to create a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool before frosting: Let the cookies cool before frosting them, otherwise the frosting will melt.
  • Decorate the cookies as desired: You can decorate the cookies with cream cheese frosting, powdered sugar, sprinkles, or other desired toppings.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover carrots, and they are also a fun and festive treat for parties and holidays. With their sweet and spicy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
