  • Cream Cheese Filling

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Combine white sugar, brown sugar, and butter for cookies in a mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

3

Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt into a bowl. Mix into the butter mixture on low speed. Add oats, carrots, raisins, and walnuts, mixing until combined.

4

Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

5

Scoop batter onto the baking sheets using a tablespoon-sized scoop, leaving 2 inches between cookies.

6

Bake in the oven until the edges are set, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.

7

Prepare cream cheese filling by beating cream cheese in a mixing bowl until softened. Add butter and mix until combined. Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating for 30 seconds to lighten the texture.

8

Spread the filling onto one cooled cookie and sandwich with another cookie. Repeat for remaining cookies.
