Ingredients
For the Cream Cheese Frosting
3 ounces cream cheese
2 ounces butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
For the Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup Quaker old fashioned oats
3/4 cup of grated carrots
1/3 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
For the filling
Beat together:
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 2 ounces butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Store the filling in the refrigerator.
For the cookies:
Whisk together in a large bowl:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
Mix in the remaining ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup Quaker old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup of grated carrots
- 1/3 cup raisins
Prepare a few cookie sheets with parchment paper and cooking spray.
Take a tablespoon of the cookie mix and roll it in your hand until it makes a round ball for each cookie.
Use a round cookie or biscuit mold to form the cookie. Watch the video for details.
If you don’t have a mold, just press them on to a cookie sheet.
Keep them about one inch from each other. You will end up with about 20 cookies.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes. The bottoms will be slightly browned.
Let the cookies cool on a rack before frosting them.
To frost just add a layer of frosting on the bottom of a cookie and top it with another.
Give it a little squeeze so the frosting pops out over the edges.
