| Orange Carrot Cookies |
From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. I used to call these Orange
Cookies because kids wouldn't try carrot cookies. If you don't tell, no one
will ever figure out there are carrots in them. They're moist & addictive. This
was my mother's recipe, who got it from Aunt Kay, who got it from her
mother. A few years ago I saw Aunt Kay's recipe & this is very different. I
have a tendency to change recipes.
