Edit
These cookies will be a great addition to the Easter brunch. The cookies themselves are not particularly sweet, but ice cream cheese makes them treat any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup shredded carrot
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup butter straight from fridge
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 oz cream cheese 1/4 of a block
- 2/3 cup milk
- 4 tsp baking powder
- Cream Cheese Drizzle
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 oz cream cheese
- 1 dash vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla and milk.
- Cut butter in dry ingredients. You can use a pastry chef or knives. We recommend using butter from the fridge or even put it in the fridge for a few minutes and then use a large cheese grater to heat butter in small pieces. This can also be done with cream cheese. You can chop the cheese into small cubes or use the grater. In the end it becomes soft, but you can only mix the small pieces to spread.
- Add the grated carrots to the mixture. Make a well in the middle of the ingredients and add wet to dry. Simply move the mixture until it becomes a sticky paste.
- Spread the dough on a light surface of flour. Knead several times until the texture is equal. Add more flour if it is too sticky.
- Pat in a large disk about 1 cm thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Transfer to baking paper covered with a university degree. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes. By cooling the dough, the butter is strengthened again and the cookies become well-ventilated and flaky.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees while cooled cookies.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until the edges and bottom of light brown.
- In a small bowl safe for the microwave, place the cream cheese in the microwave for 5-7 seconds to soften it. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and stir until combined. Sprinkle scones if they have a chance to cool for at least 30 minutes, otherwise the spray will dissolve.
