Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine grated carrots, flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

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 lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Spread a dollop of cream cheese frosting onto the flat side of a cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
