Do you have an abundant amount of carrots laying around? This is the perfect recipe for you! Soft, cinnamon spiced, carrot sweetened, oatmeal cookies, sandwiched with sweet vanilla frosting. It is all types of perfection.

Initially, when I knew I had extra carrots to use, I instantly thought to make carrot cake! But then I decided on these soft sandwich cookies to create a more unique spin with the same delicious flavors. You can buy the pre-shredded carrots, or you can use a food processor like me to finely chop them.
