Frosting Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, and softened vegan butter. Beat the ingredients together using a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Once well blended, cover the bowl and chill the frosting in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to enhance its spreadability.
Prepare Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the cookie dough.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water to create your flax egg. Stir the mixture well, then let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the prepared flax egg, brown sugar, softened vegan butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract. Stir in the shredded carrots until evenly incorporated.
- Add baking powder, almond flour, and ground oats to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each slightly. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before frosting half of them with the chilled vegan cream cheese frosting.
- Sandwich the remaining cookies on top, creating delightful treats.

Notes
