Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies with Honey Cardamom Cream Cheese

[layers_of_eli]

I made these for a Saved by the Bell potluck I went to on Friday night (I know, right? I have cool friends). The sultry honey cardamom cream cheese was an oasis of smoooooth between two spicy carrot cake cookies. Those hunky cookies, by the way, boasted toasted pecan, candied ginger, carrot, and a kick of cinnamon. The final product was perfect

YUM. After your cobbler bars went over huge, I find myself needing to make more stuff from your blog...

And I must know, what is involved in a Saved by the Bell potluck?! I would very much like to host one, even though I don't know what it is! Can you please elaborate??

Certainly! We all brought fun food and watched a SbtB marathon. Some of us dressed up like characters. In another community, we were talking about how we could've actually done food inspired by the show -- Bayside Burgers, maybe? :)

I'm so glad you liked the cobbler bars!! I love those things.

I mentioned it to a friend yesterday, and she said, "The sauce you can have, but the secret, she's a-mine!"

Trader Joe's sells something they call an Inside Out cookie, that looks just like that. It's one of my favorite things -- I would love to try this recipe. It looks really yummy!

Oh -- and I should add -- they're carrot cake as well.
