Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup softened salted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the frosting: 1 cup softened salted butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Shred the carrots and pat dry to remove excess moisture.

  3. Stir in shredded carrots and oats until combined.
  4. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Chill dough for 20–30 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  7. Allow cookies to cool before spreading frosting between two cookies.
