Ingredients
This recipe makes 12 carrot cake sandwiches.- 1 box carrot cake mix
- 3/4 cup water (per box instructions)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (per box instructions)
- 3 large eggs (per box instructions)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup crushed and drained pineapple
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Mix up the carrot cake
First, the blogger says you’ll need to make the cake according to the instructions on the box. She used Duncan Hines, but we figure other brands of carrot cake will work, too. After the mixture is ready, plunk rounded, cookie-sized spoonfuls of the batter onto a cookie sheet.Step 2: Bake the “bread”
From there, slide the batter into the oven and bake for about ten minutes. The end result will look like carrot cake cookies, which we bet are super yummy, too. Set them aside to cool.Step 3: Make the icing
Sift powdered sugar into a large bowl, then add your butter and cream cheese. Drain the crushed pineapple over the sink before adding it, and the vanilla extract, to the mixture. Blend everything together until the mixture is creamy.Step 4: Assemble the sandwiches
Add a tablespoon or more of icing to one of the cookies, then press another cookie on top to make a sandwich.
