A Little Bite of Comfort, Made with Love

I’ll be honest—these little sandwich cookies are dangerous. Like, “hide them from yourself” kind of dangerous. 😅 Think all the cozy vibes of carrot cake, but in a soft, chewy cookie with creamy, dreamy filling in the middle. You get warm spices, sweet carrots, a little crunch from the pecans… and then that classic cream cheese filling that makes everything feel just a little extra.

As a private chef and single mom, I’m always juggling—work, parenting, creating content, cooking for clients… life moves fast. But this recipe reminds me to slow down, even just for a moment. It’s one of those simple, feel-good desserts that doesn’t need a special occasion. But if you’re making these for Easter, spring brunch, or a tea party—you’ll look like you went all out. Secret: they’re actually super easy to make. 😉

I love recipes like this because they feel nostalgic. Carrot cake is one of those classic desserts that makes people light up. And turning it into a sandwich cookie? That’s just fun. It’s a little unexpected, a little playful, and totally delicious.

And if you’re like me—up at 4 a.m., squeezing in a workout before packing lunches and running to clients—you deserve a treat that hits just right. These cookies are soft but sturdy, full of texture and flavor, and they hold up beautifully even if you make them ahead. (I’m big on prepping ahead whenever I can!)

Whether you’re baking with your kids, gifting a few to your neighbors, or sneaking one after a long day—this recipe delivers. It’s comfort in cookie form. And every bite feels like a small reward. You’ve earned it. ❤️
