Cream:
1 c shortening
3/4 c sugar
1 egg
Sift together & add:
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Add:
1 c cooked carrots, mashed
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon extract
Drop spoonfuls onto GREASED cookie sheet.
Bake @ 400, 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Icing:
confectioner sugar
grated rind of one orange
fresh orange juice- add to desired consistency
Don’t skip the frosting! It’s a different cookie without it.
NOTES
- I like cookies firm, so I add 3/4 c extra flour. I also use 1/2 c butter & 1/2 c Crisco, as in photo. – Stephanie
