Methods :
Carrot cookies
Preheat the oven to 178°C (350°F). Put the grill at the center of the oven.
Line 2 baking sheets with paper.
In a small bowl, beat the butter and both types of sugar for one to two minutes until creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla, then mix, scraping the bowl if necessary.
In other bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon & salt.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat on low speed until well combined.
Add rolled oats, coconut, carrots and walnuts.
Mix until everything is well combined.
Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Using a spoon, form 30 balls of dough, counting about 10 ml (2 teaspoons) of preparation per cookie.
Place on the plates, leaving a few centimeters between them. Don’t flatten them.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes, until golden brown and slightly soft in the centre.
Turn the plates halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Leave to cool on the baking sheets.
Refrigerate cookies to firm them up while you prepare the frosting.
Cream cheese frosting
Beat cream cheese and butter for several minutes, until well blended.
Add icing sugar and vanilla.
Beat for a few minutes until smooth and creamy. If the icing seems too runny, add a little more icing sugar or refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm it up.
Spread the frosting on the bottom of 15 cookies. Close with the other 15 cookies to create sandwiches..
Enjoy !
