30 servings

  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 0.75 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • To make the cookies: Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Stir in the crushed pineapple, carrots, and raisins.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; stir into carrot mixture. Fold in 3/4 cup walnuts if using.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are set, about 14 to 16 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Make the cream cheese frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar gradually to reach spreading consistency.
  • Frost cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts, if desired.
