Irresistible Carrot Cake Cheesecake Cookie
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups grated carrots
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup white chocolate chips
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Place a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center and cover with another tablespoon of cookie dough, sealing the edges.
Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
