How to Prepare Carrot Cake Cookies With Lemon Cream Frosting [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To make the cookies:
- Put the cashews or rolled oats in a food processor and pulse until they become powder.
- Add the rest of the ingredients - except the carrots and raisins - and process into a thick wet mixture.
- Add the raisins and pulse a few times until you have them incorporated, but still have some whole raisins.
- Throw this mixture into a large bowl with the carrot shreds and mix with a wooden spoon until it all sticks together.
- Form into cookies and place in the dehydrator, or use your oven at it's lowest temperature for 2 1/2 hours.
- Blend all the ingredients together until smooth, adding the water as needed to get the texture you want: thick and creamy!
- Refrigerate overnight, then frost your cookies and enjoy!
