Ingredients
- For the cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2/3 cup finely grated carrots
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup old fashion oats
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- For the cream cheese frosting:
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, sugars and vanilla until smooth. Gently stir in the carrots and applesauce.
Step 2
Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon into the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until combined.
Step 3
Fold in the oats and raisins, if desired.
Step 4
Form dough into uniform balls (I used about 1 1/2 Tbsp of dough for each cookie) and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake at 350° F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes. Then carefully remove parchment and cookies from pan and let cool on counter for 15 minutes.
Step 6
While cookies are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until creamy. Add in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and beat until desired consistency.
Step 7
Spread cream cheese frosting between two cooled cookies. Repeat with the rest. Eat and enjoy! Store extra cookies in an airtight container.
