Recipe Instructions

To prepare cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add beaten egg, mashed carrots, cake flour, salt, baking powder, vanilla and almond extract. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops look set and dull; bottoms will not brown. Let cool before icing.

To prepare icing: Sift sugar into a bowl. Add melted butter, orange zest and juice. Consistency should be that of a thin glaze. Makes about 1 cup.

Yields 42 (2-inch) cookies.

Tester's notes: Beautiful cream-colored drop cookie with flecks of bright orange carrot mixed throughout. Excellent taste with a moist texture.
