Ingredients
Carrot Cake Cookie Ingredients
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 TSP Baking Soda
- 1 TSP Baking Powder
- 1 1/2 TSP Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 TSP Ground Nutmeg
- 1 /2 TSP Ground Ginger
- 1/2 TSP Salt
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter ~ Room Temperature
- 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 Cups Shredded Carrots

Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4oz Cream Cheese ~ Softened
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter ~ Room Temperature
- 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 TSP Salt
- 3 Cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add in the dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t over-mix. Stir in the carrots and raisins.
- Chill the batter in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a large cookie scoop and place dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake for about 12-17 minutes (dependent on your oven) or until edges are lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- To make the cream cheese frosting, use a hand mixer to cream together the cream cheese and butter for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract and salt. Gradually add in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
- Use a piping bag or spoon to add a thick layer of frosting to the back of one cookie. Place a non-frosted cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
