Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat together the vegan butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. 

  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  3. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix together. Mix in almond milk. Fold in the grated carrots and pecans.

  4. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  5. Pre-heat your oven to 325F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. Taking about a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough, form a ball for each cookie and place on baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Press the dough balls down slightly with your fingers to form thick discs.

  7. Bake for 14 minutes. They'll still be soft, but they'll firm up a bit once cooled.

I make treats about once a month for coworkers and when I brought these in, I was told these were the best treat I had ever brought in! So delicious! I am going to try and make a gluten free version tonight!

Emma ★ 5.0/5

These turned out so good! The cookies taste great on their own but the frosting takes them over the top. I'll definitely make these again. Thanks for the amazing recipe.

Robin ★ 5.0/5

5 stars! Loving this recipe to pieces. The sandwiches are so stinking cute. So easy to make and came out just like your pictures. :)

Anni ★ 5.0/5

I make these all the time (as plain cookies, not sandwiches). They taste fantastic and are so quick and easy to make. I also love mixing it up with extra bits and bobs like sultanas, sunflower seeds or extra spices.
The recipe is so flexible, I find I can make a batch even if I’m missing ingredients as long as I have the baking powder, carrot, any type of flour and some liquid! I never have vegan butter at hand unless I’ve specifically planned beforehand to bake cookies (hardly ever) and I’ve made these successfully with alternatives including applesauce, mashed banana, cocoa butter, vegetable oil and aquafaba in various combinations. I just tweak the wet and dry ingredients ratios until the batter looks good! Resting the mixture in the fridge makes the most well-formed cookies but they come out fine without as well!

Wow!! I really think that you should look at you the way this recipe is written. I followed every instruction. I got ten cookies in total , that means five cookie sandwiches!!! The cookies spread way out!!!!
