This is a good recipe. It's from the Betty Crocker Recipe Box circa 1971. Betty also suggests an "Orange Butter Icing" which really completes this cookie. Read More

I don't know if I would use coconut the next time I make these but they were pretty tasty. I made them at Halloween which was a good time because they come out orange. Read More

This recipe is awesome! My mom even loved it! I will definitely make this again! Suggestion if you want more of a carrot taste use more than a cup of carrots. I also had to use more flour to make the mix more stiff. Read More

These are very good & not very sweet which is nice. Didn't have the coconut which may have made this a 5-star but otherwise was a cake texture. Read More

Made these cookies today and they were great. Used the leftover pulp from making carrot juice and added a little water. You can use the pulp for thickening soups and stews too. Read More

I made this recipe without the coconut. I added 1/4 cup of wildflower honey for extra sweetness and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. It was still very bland. I topped it with buttercream icing and the kids liked it. I think it would be good with chopped nuts. Read More
