A very soft cake-like cookie. A great way to get carrots into my Dad's diet; sure he is not the only one who needs a little help that way. Wish I could tell you where I got this, but...Dad never knew there were carrots in his cookies.
Ingredients:
1 cup mashed cooked carrot
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup shortening (part margarine)
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coconut
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°.
2. Mix carrots, sugar shortening and eggs.
3. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Stir in coconut.
5. Drop by teaspoon about 2-inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
6. Bake until almost no indentation remains when touched, about 8 minutes.
7. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on wire rack.
