**This is a revisit from a prevous post**
Another recipe from Martha Stewart's Cookies cookbook. I found this one knowing I would have to try it one day and today being such a rainy blustery day I thought what the heck it is the perfect day for baking cookies. These unlike so many other recipes that I use I didn't alter this one and they were perfect. If you like carrot cake you will love these cookies. Give them a try I will guarantee they won't last long.
Carrot Cake Cookies
By Martha Stewart
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots
1 cup raisins
In a separate bowl combine flour, soda, powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger set aside.
In a mixer beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy about 3 minutes, add eggs and vanilla mix well. Add in flour mixture and mix until well combined. Add in oats, carrots and raisins, mix until just combined. Put in another bowl and chill for at least 1 hour.
Line cookie sheet with either parchment or silpat and using the smallest cookie scoop (1 tablespoon) make balls and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and then put on cooling rack until completely cooled.
Filling~
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar*
1 teaspoon vanilla
Bring cream cheese and butter to room temperature, mix together in a bowl until smooth. Add in vanilla and powered sugar beat until smooth.
* Add more if needed.
Spread about 2 teaspoons of filling on flat side of cookie, and sandwich together. Repeat and enjoy.
I'm sure they're delicious. I'm not big on baking or sweets, but about once or twice a year, I give it a try. I'll add this to my recipe box. :) Thanks.
