Little Debbie, eat your heart out!

Okay, does everyone recall those Oatmeal Creme Pies from Little Debbie?? Yeah, I never really cared for them unless I as really in the mood. Well, they sounded real good about an hour ago. So, for FHE I made some Carrot Cake Cookies...

(Guess what I might be bringing to the Bloggers' Potluck???)

Here's the recipe...

1 C Packed Light Brown Sugar

1 C (2 sticks) butter (room temp)

2 large eggs (room temp)

1 teasp. vanilla

1 1/2 C Flour (I used Soft White Wheat, but all purpose or whole wheat should work well, too)

1 teasp. baking powder

1 teasp. baking soda

1/4 teasp. Salt

1 teasp. cinnamon

1/2 teasp. nutmeg

1/2 teasp. ginger

2 C Rolled Oats

1 1/2 Grated Carrots

1 C raisins (I just dumped in a few boxes of snack raisins I had in the pantry)

Cream Cheese Frosting (Yummy!!!)

Oven goes to 375. Grease two cookie sheets. Mix butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla. In separate bowl sift together flour, soda, powder, salt, spices and then add them gradually to the butter and egg mixture. Mix in oats, carrots & raisins. Spoon heaping teasp. on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, til edges are golden brown. These are very soft cookies. Let rest on pan about 10 minutes, then take them off with spatula onto cooling rack. Place heaping knifeful of frosting on flat side of one cookie and pair up with another to form a sandwich.

Yummy!!!!
