Ingredients
Method
Prepare Cookie Dough
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Prepare Carrot Cake Filling
- In a separate bowl, combine the grated carrots, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
Assemble Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a teaspoon of the carrot cake filling in the center and fold the dough around it, sealing it completely.
- Place the stuffed cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
