Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare shredded carrots by placing them on a paper towel to absorb moisture.
  2. Cream softened butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, carrots, and oats.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger before gradually incorporating them into the wet mixture.
  4. Refrigerate dough balls for 20–30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F.
  5. Bake cookies for 12–15 minutes until golden around the edges but slightly soft in the center. Cool on wire racks before filling with cream cheese frosting.
