Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high 5 min., until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat 1 min., until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides and bottom of bowl.
2
To stand mixer bowl, add flour mixture and beat 1 min., until just combined. Using a spatula, fold in grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts until just incorporated into batter.
3
Scoop dough in rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake 15–17 min., rotating pans halfway through, until edges are set but centers are still a bit soft. Transfer baking sheets to a rack and allow cookies to cool completely.
4
Once cooled, spread about 1 tbsp frosting on the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies to make sandwiches.
