Peanut Butter Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies

Cookies

• • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium until light and fluffy. This will be about 2 minutes.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
  • Add in the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger and flour. Mix on low until most of the flour is incorporated.
  • Add in the shredded carrots and finish mixing on medium until the carrots and flour have come together.
  • Scoop the dough out onto the prepared cookie sheet.

• Place into the oven and let bake for 12 minutes. The bottom of the cookies will start to brown.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Place the cookies on the cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.

Frosting

• In a mixing bowl, add in the butter, cream cheese and peanut butter. Mix until combined.
• Add in the powdered sugar and milk and mix until combined.
• Turn the mixer up on high and whip for another 1 minute. The frosting will become pale and fluffy.
• Place the frosting into a piping bag with a straight tip or a coupler.
• Add a swirl onto the bottom of the cooled cookie and place a cookie on top. Give it a little squeeze to squish the frosting out of the sides a little.
