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.
