Carrot Cake Cookies Recipes

CARROT CAKE COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

CARROT CAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix together the cream cheese, 3 tbsp icing sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl, then put in the freezer to firm up for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, combine the flour, baking powder and spices in a bowl. In a larger bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in the egg, followed by the carrot. Tip in the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough.
• Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Dust your hands with a little flour, then divide the dough into 14 balls and place on the sheet. Use the palm of your hand to flatten each one to a thin circle. Add 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture to the centre of each one, then carefully wrap the dough up and around the filling to seal it in, pinching the top and rolling back into a rough ball to stop any of the filling leaking out.
• When all the balls are shaped, use your palm to flatten them slightly, then put in the fridge to chill for 30 mins. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Bake the cookies for 20 mins until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven, let them firm up on the tray for 10-15 mins, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
