Golden Carrot Cookies
My mother’s recipe she got from our local First United Methodist Church cookbook
1 Cup shortening
¾ Cup sugar
1 cups mashed cooked carrots
2 eggs
2 Cups flour
2 Teaspoons baking powder
½ Teaspoon salt
¾ Cups shredded coconut
Cream together shortening, sugar, carrots, and eggs. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and coconut. Combine with creamed mixture. Drop 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting.
