Every year growing up when we got carrots from our garden my mom would make carrot cookies. I had never made them before until I got pregnant and a couple of months ago I started craving them so I had to ask my mom for the recipe. So tonight I am making carrot cookies and thought I would share the recipe with all of you.
1 cup grated carrots boiled in 1 cup water
Cream together:
1 cup sugar
1 cup shortning (sometimes I'll use butter)
1 whole egg
Add drained carrots
Mix in:
2 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Drop from spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake @ 375 degrees for about 8 min. until done (not brown)
Frosting:
softened butter
powdered sugar
juice from an orange (I use lemon juice)

I know this might seem gross but I have made these cookies with carrot baby food. I also craved these when I was pregnant with Isaac. I also made the frosting using orange juice from concentrate.
