Ingredients
– 200 grams of flour for base of the dough, giving structure and a soft texture

– 50 grams of butter for richness and flaky quality

– Shredded carrots for natural sweetness and nutrients
– Sugar for sweetening and balancing spices
– Eggs for binding ingredients together
– Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for warm, cozy notes

Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare Your Ingredients Begin by shredding the carrots and measuring out 200 grams of flour, 100 milliliters of milk, 50 grams of butter, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients like flour and baking powder in a bowl to ensure they blend well. This step sets up the base for your Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich and allows for easy adaptations, such as using gluten-free flour if needed.
2-Second Step: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients Next, add the wet components: melt the butter and mix it with milk and any eggs you’re using. Stir this into the dry mix until it forms a dough, then fold in the shredded carrots and spices. Keep an eye on consistency; for a vegan version, swap in plant-based alternatives to keep your Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich inclusive and delicious.
3-Third Step: Shape and Bake the Cookies Form the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes until they turn golden; remember, slightly underbaking helps them stay soft for your Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich. This timing works well for most ovens, but adjust for high-altitude areas to maintain the best texture.
4-Fourth Step: Cool and Assemble Let the cookies cool on a rack for 10 minutes so they firm up without getting too hard. Then, spread cream cheese frosting on the flat side of one cookie and press another on top to create the sandwich. For dietary tweaks, use a low-calorie frosting option here to customize your Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich while keeping it fresh and appealing.
5-Final Step: Chill and Serve Pop the assembled sandwiches in the fridge for 30 minutes to set, which makes them easier to handle and enhances the flavors. Serve them as is or with a side of fruit for a complete treat. This final touch ensures your Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich is ready for any occasion, with options to adapt for different tastes or restrictions.

๐ฅ Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded carrots using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels – this prevents the cookies from becoming too wet and helps them maintain their shape during baking.
๐ช Don’t overbake the cookies – they should be just set when you take them out of the oven as they will continue to cook slightly on the hot baking sheet, and you want them to stay soft and chewy for the perfect sandwich texture.
๐พ These cookie sandwiches actually taste better the next day as the flavors meld together and the cookies soften from the filling, so consider making them a day ahead for your event or gathering.
