These were very tasty and puffy whoopie pies! I used whole wheat flour omitted the pineapple raisins and nuts as my kids are carrot cake purists. I did double the grated carrot added a 4 oz jar of baby food carrots 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice as it wasn't spicy enough for us. I used a 1/8 cup scoop made 46 cookies or 23 sandwiches baked 16 minutes on silpat lined sheets. 1 tbsp scoop made 96 cookies 48 sandwiches baked in 13 minutes. Filling 4 oz cream cheese 1 tsp butter 1 tsp cream dash of vanilla and cinnamon 2 cups icing sugar. Read More
Needs more carrots more spices. Light and moist but bland and not many carrots in this carrot cake. Frosting was also too sweet for me. I think I will try it again..but needs changes so only a three as is. Read More

WOW. Used way more shredded carrots (like 2 cups total) and added some nutmeg, everything else was the same. I honestly didn't have high hopes for these, but they were AMAZING. Just as good, maybe better, than carrot cake (and I loooove carrot cake). I'll definitely make these again. They were a hit with everyone. Perfect. Read More
Searched for these on a whim today and was glad to find this recipe! Sorry for all of the changes but I tried it and then adjusted accordingly--I upped the amount of salt to 1 tsp doubled the cinnamon and added 1/2 tsp of apple pie spice and used all margarine instead of butter and shortening mix. I also omitted the pineapple and raisins (preference) and 2 1/2 x the carrots. I only made half of the icing using cream instead of pineapple juice and it was plenty for the amount of sandwiches. I would like to try subbing in some oats for part of the flour next time so it's got a slightly different texture. Read More
Absolutely loved these. What a great way to change up carrot cake. I followed user reviews and doubled the cinnamon and added 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I also added about 2 c carrots and omitted the pineapple and raisins. Delicious. Used extra frosting to pipe carrots on top and they were beautiful Read More
Outstanding cookie! Being a Carrot Cake junkie these cookies filled the bill. It does make alot of filling but I used it for other things This ones a keeper!! Thanks for the recipe Read More
Definitely a hit! But they should be called Carrot Whoopie Pies! This time I didn't use pineapple or raisins and used milk instead of pineapple juice in the frosting. Yummy! Read More

Good idea not so good results. They are a bit bland and don't taste much like carrot. The pineapple just left holes and they burned around the edges to get cooked enough in the middle. I think as is they would make great muffins just not cookies. Read More
There were SO easy and good. I took to work with sugar cookies for Easter and everyone loved them! Very moist great flavor--definately will add to my file to make again!! Read More
