Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp all spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Use parchment paper or a silpat mat to line a baking sheet. 
  • Cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are blended.
  • Add in the shredded carrots, egg yolks, vanilla and whole milk and beat until combined.
  • Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, all spice, and salt. Mix until all combined.
  • Scoop out a little less than 1 TBSP of dough for smaller cookies (or 1/4 cup dough for BIG cookies). Place dough balls on prepared pan (12 cookies to a pan if smaller cookies) and slightly flatten with your hand to about 3/4 – 1 inch thick.
  • Bake for 8-9 minutes. Cool cookies cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cooling rack. NOTE: If you decide to make the bigger cookies, you’ll need to bake them for 13-15 minutes.
  • While cookies are cooling, make the frosting.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING DIRECTIONS

  • In stand mixer, cream butter and cream cheese for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and mix on high for about 3 minutes until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add milk a teaspoon at a time to get the consistency you are looking for. If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • Put the frosting in a piping bag with a round tip OR you can put the frosting in a gallon size Ziploc bag and cut off one corner of the bag. Use the frosting bag to pipe frosting in a spiral on top of the cooled cookies. Sprinkle each cookie with chopped walnuts. (NOTE: Crumbl tops with chopped pecans so you can definitely use pecans but we think walnuts go with carrot cake better.)
