How to Make Gone Quick Carrot Cake Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes using an electric mixer).
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats, 2 cups grated carrots, and 1 cup raisins.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Scoop the chilled dough using a 1 ½-ounce ice cream scoop (or a tablespoon) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cool, frost the cookies. Spread about 2 teaspoons of cream cheese frosting onto the flat side of one cookie, and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
  12. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
