Carrot Cake Cookies (Pg 202)

Oh the sandwich cookies. There are so many in this book. It's kind of out of control. All the ones I've made so far have something in common: they really don't need to be sandwiches.

Don't get me a wrong, a sandwich cookie is nice and everything, but it's just so much. And they're hard to eat because the frosting middle always oozes out all over the place. I prefer to take them apart.

Anyway, the idea here is to have a little carrot cake sandwich. The cookies themselves are very cakey, which I love. They are chock full of shredded carrots, raisins, and oats, making them chunky and satisfying. They really do taste like carrot cakes, they're just in cookie shape. And then, of course, it's a classic cream cheese frosting for the middle.

I really liked the cookie on its own, and I would've just eaten them as carrot cake cookies without any frosting. Once you get to the part of making the frosting and whatnot, you might as well just make carrot cake cupcakes, or just go all the way and make a carrot cake.
