directions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In the bowl with an electric mixer, combine the sugars and butter; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat on medium speed until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; stir to combine.
  • Gradually add flour to butter mixture; mix on a low speed until just blended.
  • Mix in oats, carrots, and raisins.
  • Chill dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Using a 1/2-ounce ice-cream scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
  • Transfer to oven, and bake until browned and crisped, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking to ensure even color.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Repeat baking process with remaining dough.
  • Once cooled completely, spread with an offset spatula about 2 teaspoons of cream-cheese filling onto a cookie.
  • Sandwich together with a second cookie.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • CREAM-CHEESE FILLING: Place the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Using a rubber spatula, soften the cream cheese.
  • Gradually add the butter, and continue beating until smooth and well blended.
  • Sift in the confectioners' sugar, and continue beating until smooth.
  • Add vanilla, and stir to combine.
  • (Makes about 2 cups).

  1. These were quite yummy. Mine were a little too big, so some of them fell apart, but the smaller ones were perfect. THanks for sharing this unique treat!
     
  2. These disappeared really quickly! I don't care for raisins so I substituted chopped pecans. Loved them!
     
  3. These are really tasty cookies. I loved the carrot and oatmeal combination. They are very cute too with the cream cheese filling. I ended up cooking most of my cookies on a baking sheet with a little no-stick spray. Remember to keep your cookies small because they do spread. What a great recipe! I will definitely be making these again (maybe even tonight!)
     
  4. Absolutely addicting sandwich cookies with a cream cheese filling! These are soft and chewey but sturdy and fun to make. They disappear as fast as I can get them sandwiched together.
