- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1 tbsp cream
Instructions
Carrot Cake Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. I just use the paddle attachment to do this.
- Then add the egg and mix.
- Then add the vanilla.
- Stir in the shredded carrot and milk. You will need to scrape the sides of the bowl often.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Drop the cookie dough by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 10 minutes.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack, then drizzle with the cream cheese drizzle.
Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- Cream together the cream cheese, icing sugar and cream, until smooth.
- To drizzle the icing, I like to put the icing into a ziplock bag, cut off a tiny corner of the bag, and pipe on the icing.
- Enjoy!
