Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies Recipe to prepare these utterly delicious cinnamon spiced cookies, which is a perfect indulgence with a tangy cream cheese filling.
1. Before being filled with frosting, the cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. The filling can be made ahead and chilled for up to five days.
2. After scooping dough onto baking sheets, gently pat it down so that cookies bake generally flat.
3. When assembling the cookie sandwiches, press together gently so filling flattens and spreads all the way out to the edges.
4. If your carrot pieces are too thick, they won't have time to adequately soften in these cookies because they don’t bake for long like a cake.
5. If you don't like citrus in your carrot cake, feel free to reduce or omit it.
6. The next time I make this recipe, I plan to try substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for an even healthier variation.
