Ingredients

Scale

(Makes 12 sandwiches / 24 cookies)

“Carrot cake” cookies:

1½ cups almond flour (you love almond flour—memory #25!)
½ cup coconut flour
¾ cup granulated sweetener (monk fruit blend—you love blood sugar friendly!)
1½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ginger
¼ tsp salt
1 large egg
½ cup melted butter or coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened applesauce (for moisture—mimics carrot texture!)
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (you love nuts!)

Cream cheese filling:

4 oz (½ block) full-fat cream cheese, softened (you love cream cheese!)
¼ cup powdered sweetener (powdered erythritol or monk fruit blend)
1–2 tbsp heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Optional finish:

Roll edges in chopped nuts or shredded coconut
Dust with cinnamon

Instructions

1. Make cookie dough:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, spices, and salt.
In another bowl, beat egg, melted butter, vanilla, and applesauce.
Combine wet + dry; fold in nuts. Dough will be thick and slightly sticky.

2. Bake cookies:

Scoop 1-tbsp portions; roll into balls. Flatten slightly.
Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely.

3. Make filling:

Beat cream cheese, powdered sweetener, cream, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.

4. Assemble sandwiches:

Spread or pipe filling onto flat side of one cookie; top with second cookie. Optional: Roll edges in nuts or coconut.
