Ingredients

To make these mouth-watering cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup cream cheese frosting (for stuffing)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Carrot Cake Cookies-Stuffed:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and walnuts, if using.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the cookie dough and form it into balls. Make a small indentation in the center of each ball and fill it with a spoonful of cream cheese frosting. Cover the frosting with a bit more cookie dough, ensuring it is sealed inside.
Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Indulge in the deliciousness of these Carrot Cake Cookies-Stuffed! Once cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container for several days, allowing you to enjoy them at your leisure. Happy baking!
