In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, sugars and vanilla until smooth. Gently stir in the carrots and applesauce.
Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon into the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until combined.
Fold in the oats and raisins, if desired.
Form dough into uniform balls (use about 1 1/2 Tbsp of dough for each cookie) and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350° F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes. Then carefully remove parchment and cookies from pan and let cool on counter for 15 minutes.
While cookies are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until creamy. Add in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and beat until desired consistency.
Spread cream cheese frosting between two cooled cookies. Repeat with the rest. Eat and enjoy! Store extra cookies in an airtight container.
