Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
step 2
Sift together the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/4 cups), Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1/2 tsp), Simply Organic Ginger Root, Ground (1/4 tsp), Simply Organic Nutmeg, Ground (1/4 tsp), Salt (1/4 tsp), and Baking Soda (1/4 tsp). Set aside.
step 3
To the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp) and Truvia® Sweet Complete® Brown With a Hint of Molasses (1/2 cup). Cream at medium speed for 2 minutes, or until combined.
step 4
Add Unsweetened Apple Sauce (4 Tbsp) and mix until combined.
step 5
Beat in the Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1) and Simply Organic Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp) for 1 minute.
step 6
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix at low speed for about 30 seconds, or until only a few streaks of flour remain.
step 7
Remove the mixing bowl from the mixer and fold the Carrot (1/2 cup) and Chopped Pecans (1/2 cup) into the batter using a rubber spatula.
step 8
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the cookies onto the prepared sheet pan, make sure the cookies are spaced about 1 ½ inches apart. Press down flat with buttered hand.
step 9
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
step 10
Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
step 11
While the cookies cool, make the icing. In a medium size bowl add Cream Cheese (2 Tbsp) and Butter (1 Tbsp). By hand, or hand mixer, mix until creamy.
step 12
Add Truvia Sweet Complete® Confectioners Stevia Leaf Sweetener (1/2 cup), Milk (1 Tbsp), and Simply Organic Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp). Mix until combined. You want the icing to be slightly runny, but firm enough to pipe. Add more milk as needed to reach desired consistency.
step 13
Transfer to a sealable bag and knead the bag to remove any lumps.
step 14
Just before piping, trim the corner off the bag.
step 15
Pipe frosting on the cooled cookies and serve.
step 16
Store in a sealable container.
