CARROT COOKIES

2 c. flour
1 c. carrots, chopped up
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. Crisco shortening
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
Boil carrots, drain, mash fine and cool. Cream together well: sugar, shortening, egg,
vanilla and salt. Set aside. Sift flour and baking powder together; then add to sugar
mixture. Add carrots and stir together well. Drop on greased cookie sheet. Bake at
375°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
ICING:
2 c. confectioners' sugar (10X)
2-4 tbsp. orange juice (you may need to add more later)
1/3 c. melted butter
1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
Combine all ingredients and mix well. To keep icing liquid enough to put on cookies,
place it in a pan over low heat and continue to add orange juice as necessary to
maintain proper consistency. Do Not Overheat Icing! Put icing on cookies while they
are still warm. Cool them and place in a tightly-sealed container.
