How to Make Carrot Cookies With Mascarpone Frosting
- This cake mix comes with a packet of cake mix, and a packet of dehydrated carrots and raisins. Mix the carrots/raisins with the hot water and let sit 10 minutes. Then drain and press out all the water; set aside. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray lightly with oil.
- TO MAKE FROSTING:
Bring sugar, cream, and butter to a full rolling boil and boil for only 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Stir in the mascarpone cheese by spoonfuls until all is melted and combined. Then stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Keep beating by hand about 5-7 minutes, until it thickens up.
