Carrot cake sandwich cookies are a fantastic way to add a little extra veg to your day, via a sweet treat.
1 Heat oven to 180°C. Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
2 Sift together in a large bowl flour, baking powder, the bicarb soda, cinnamon and ginger. Stir through walnuts, coconut and the grated carrot.
3 Whisk together in a smaller bowl the egg, the oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla and sugar. Pour egg mix into flour bowl and mix until well combined. Scoop out spoonfuls of mixture and place 3cm apart on trays, rounding slightly. Bake for about 10 minutes.
4 Mix together ricotta, honey, remaining vanilla and orange zest. When cookies are cold, and just before eating, sandwich them together with ricotta mix.

Can’t see where the brown sugar is used.?
Its ok found it. Lol
Lockdown treat and these fitted the bill perfectly! No ricotta on hand so used a butter cream filling made with mandarin and vanilla instead of ricotta. Not quite as healthy but absolutely delish!
Made these with grated and well drained beetroot. Added a little beetroot juice to the icing. A much commented on, well liked contribution to a shared afternoon tea.
