Ingredients

1 Cup(s) Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup(s) Quaker® Oats-Old Fashioned
1/2 Teaspoon(s) Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon(s) Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon(s) pumpkin pie spice
1/2 Teaspoon(s) Cinnamon
1/4 Cup(s) coconut oil- melted (or canola oil)
1/3 Cup(s) applesauce
1/4 Cup(s) brown sugar
2 Tablespoon(s) white sugar
1 Cup(s) finely shredded carrots
1/2 Cup(s) raisins
1/4 Teaspoon(s) Salt
1 Tablespoon(s) ground flax meal
1 Teaspoon(s) Vanilla extract
6 Ounce(s) light cream cheese
2 Tablespoon(s) maple or agave syrup
1/2 Teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 Egg(s)

Cooking Instructions

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, flax meal, and oats.
Mix sugars, oil, applesauce, 1 tsp vanilla, egg, carrots and raisins in a separate bowl and combine with the dry ingredients.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
Press the dough out to flatten so they are easier to make into sandwiches later.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
I always tend to undercook my cookies so they stay soft longer.
While cooking, mix the filling by mixing cream cheese, syrup and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
After the cookies are cooked, let them sit for a few minutes then remove from the tray to a cooling rack.
When cool, fill the cookies by spreading the cream cheese filling on the flat side of the cookie- put 2 together to make a sandwich.
These can be made ahead, wrapped and chilled for several days.
