2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts if using.
5. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.

7. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
8. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
9. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve and enjoy your delicious Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies!
