Carrot Cookies

I love these cookies because they are orange! I got this recipe from JoEllen. They have such a great flavor and are a really light fluffy cookie. I don't have anything else to say about them but they are delicious, and taste more like orange juice cookies than like carrot cookies.

Carrot Cookies

1 1/4 c. Shortening
1 1/8 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. grated orange peel
1 1/2 c. mashed cooked carrots (or canned carrots)
3 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

1. Blend together wet ingredients (shortening, sugar, vanilla, eggs, carrots, orange peel).
2. Then add dry ingredients and mix together.
3. Bake on a cookie sheet for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
