Recipe by Zandeleen Thygesen
For the cookie:
500 g cake premix, I used a carrot cake premix
2 large eggs
¼ cup oil
1 tbsp crushed pineapple
2 tbsp grated carrot
1 tsp mixed spice
¼ cup chopped nuts
For the filling:
125 g cream cheese
1 cup icing sugar
Vanilla essence
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the filling ingredients together, add more icing sugar if you feel it’s needed. Scoop out tablespoons of filling onto a tray and freeze until hard
Preheat your oven to 180°C
Mix all the cookie ingredients together.
Scoop out a tablespoon of dough and flatten it in your palm.
Add frozen filling to the dough and cover to form a ball
Place on a baking tray
Put in the oven for 12 minutes or until brown.
NOTES
If you use a vanilla premix, you should definitely add the grated carrots and mixed spice to give it a carrot cake feel
Freeze the cookie balls if you’re not ready to bake them yet
