Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• In a large bowl, beat the butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
  1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the shredded carrots.
  1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until creamy.
  1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• Spread the cream cheese filling on the flat side of half the whoopie pies. Top with the remaining halves to form sandwiches.
