Ingredients
Cookies
2 cups shortening
1 1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups cooked mashed carrots
1tsp. salt
4 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. lemon extract
Icing
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 stick butter
scant teaspoon orange rind
Orange juice
Tips
I make the icing so that it is stiff enough to ice the cookie not just glaze it. Then I let the icing set before serving.
Directions
Cookies: Cream shortening and sugar, add beaten eggs and cream. Add carrots and blend well. At this point I add flavorings. Add sifted dry ingredients. Drop onto greased cookie tins. ( I use the silicone mats no grease) Bake in 350 degree oven until lightly browned just edges. 17 minutes. Frost with orange butter icing.
