For Frosting

• Orange and Green food gel
• 80g Dairy-free block butter

Recipe

1. To prepare the cream cheese filling, add cream cheese to a bowl and whip until smooth and creamy, using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer.
2. Add the flour and sugar, then continue whipping until thick and firm enough to press into balls.
3. Set aside and start preparing the cookies.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
5. Take a mixing bowl, add butter and sugar, and whip with a stand mixer or by hand until light and creamy.
6. Now, add vanilla and milk. Whip until well combined.
7. Sift in the spices, baking powder, and bicarbonate, and mix until well combined. Fold in the grated carrots.
8. Scoop the prepared mixture into 6 balls and make a hole in the middle of each cookie dough.
9. Spoon the cream cheese filling into each hole and then fold the cookie dough over it.
10. Place the cookies on the lined tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly golden.
11. Allow the cookies to cool, and prepare the frosting.
12. Take a bowl, add butter and cream cheese, and whip until smooth and creamy.
13. Add icing sugar and vanilla and whip until smooth and creamy.
14. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag, leaving some behind for carrot decoration.
15. Once the cookies are cool, swirl the frosting over each cookie.
16. Divide the leftover buttercream filling into two bowls, and color one green and the other orange.
17. Transfer into the piping bags and pipe mini carrots on each cookie.
18. Once set, serve and enjoy.
