Vegan Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies
🌱 Vegan Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies 🥕
These Vegan Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies are soft carrot-oat cookies with a thick vegan cream-cheese filling. No eggs. No dairy. They taste like carrot cake you can pick up — cinnamon, shredded carrot, and that frosting layer in the middle.
I love pairing cookies that are the same size so the stack looks clean. Cool them all the way before you fill or the frosting melts. 💚

The Secret to Cookies That Stay Soft
Squeeze the grated carrot so the dough isn’t watery. Don’t overbake — pull them when the edges look set and the centers still look pale. They firm on the sheet. Chill the filling 10 minutes if it’s too loose to sandwich.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I skip the oats? 🌾
Yes. Use 2 extra tablespoons flour. The cookies will be a little less rustic.
What filling works? 🧀
Vegan cream cheese plus powdered sugar. Coconut cream frosting also works.
How do I store them? 🧊
Fridge for 4 days. Let them sit 10 minutes before eating so the filling softens.
