Lightly flour a clean work surface. Take a portion of the carrot mixture and flatten it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2-3 inch star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the carrot stars. Carefully transfer the stars to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, gathering and re-flattening scraps as needed.
