Introduction
Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich by Master Pastry Chef, Shane Smith.
Ingredients
- 140g butter
- 140g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 200g carrot (grated)
- zest of one orange
- 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 350g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 200g butter
- 200g icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 100g cream cheese
FILLING:
Method
- 1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together.
- 2. Add the egg and orange zest and mix to combine.
- 3. To this add the grated carrot and nuts, mix.
- 4. Finally add the sieved flour, baking powder and mixed spice and fold until combined.
- 5. Divide the batter into 16 even balls and place on two lined trays.
- 6. Press the cookies down with the palm of your hand to flatten and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- 7. Remove from the oven and allow to firm up on the tray for 10 minutes and then remove onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 8. While cooling, the filling is very simple. In a mixing bowl beat the room temperature butter and icing sugar together until pale and soft, add the vanilla and finally the cream cheese. Do not over mix at this point.
- 9. To assemble, very simply spoon or pipe some of the cream cheese filling into the centre of one of the cookies and sandwich together by placing another one on top.
- 10. Enjoy!
