So, I know I haven't posted for a while, but that doesn't mean I haven't been cooking. Just extremely busy!! But, this is a recipe I used to make when I was little with my mom. I changed a few things - they are delicious. Probably my favorite cookie. Don't let the word "carrot" fool you - they are SO good. Here you go:
cookies ingredients:
3/4 C Crisco
3/4 C sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
2 C flour
1/2 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
1 C cooked, mashed carrots
Mix Crisco, sugar, and eggs in mixer. Add flour, salt, baking powder, and carrots. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto onto baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
orange frosting ingredients:
3 T. butter, softened
2 t. grated orange peel
1 1/2 C powdered sugar (I didn't use the entire amount)
1 T orange juice
Blend butter and sugar. Stir in remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
