Easter Carrot Cake Cookies

Yields1 Serving

Carrot Cake Cookies
 1 cup Butter
 1 cup Sugar
 1 cup Brown Sugar
 2 Eggs
 2 tsp Cinnamon
 1 tsp Nutmeg
 1 tsp Baking Soda
 1 tsp Salt
 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
 1 ½ cups Shredded Carrot
 2 ½ cups Flour
Cream Cheese Frosting
 ½ cup Butter
 4 oz Cream Cheese
 3 cups Powdered Sugar
Carrot Cake Cookie Dough
1

Beat together the butter and both sugars until the mixture starts to turn a lighter color.

2

Add in the eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda until fully incorporated. You might need to scrape the sides down a couple of times.

3

Slowly mix in the flour until the mixture comes together, and then add in the shredded carrots.

4

Using an ice cream scoop, form a good size ball of cookie dough, and press slightly down on the cookie and evenly space them out on the baking sheet.

5

Place the cookies into a 350 degree oven for 9-10 minutes. Or just until the edges of the cookies start to brown.

6

Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting
7

In a mixing bowl, add the butter and cream cheese. Beat on high until the mixture starts to come together. It helps if both are room temperature!

8

Add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time.

9

Allow the mixer to run for a couple of minutes or until the mixture starts to look light and fluffy.

10

To decorate the cookies, take a spoonful or two of the frosting and place in a separate bow. Add the desired coloring to the frosting until you achieve the color you desire.

11

Fold a sandwich or plastic bag over a cup, and spoon the frosting into the bag.

12

Snip a small corner of the bag to decorate your cookies!
