Delicious.

Carrot cake woopie pies




1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coarsely grated carrots (2 medium)
1/2 cup raisins (2 1/2 ounces)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup honey
Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Beat together butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in carrots and raisins at low speed, then add flour mixture and beat until just combined.
Chill dough in freezer for 15 minutes.
Drop 1 tablespoon batter per cookie 2 inches apart on silplat mats and bake on baking sheets, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until cookies are lightly browned and springy to the touch, 12 to 16 minutes total. Cool cookies on sheets on racks 1 minute, then transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.
While cookies are baking, blend cream cheese and honey in a food processor until smooth.
Sandwich flat sides of cookies together with a generous tablespoon of cream cheese filling in between.  These are good the first night, but if you store in an airtight container, they get amazingly moist and whoopie pie like on the second night.
[ pretty safe to say i'll be trying these out asap. I loveeeeeee carrot cake! happy cooking lovies!]

You have no idea who I am talking about. In all honesty you were not who I was thinking about when I wrote that. But I suppose you could be included in it. Stop pretending the world revolves around you. It doesn't. I have tried and tried again to be nice you and to make things right between us. I really do not appreciate you speaking to me like that. This is the second time you have tried to tell me what to do. Please don't do it again.
