SIMPLE & DELICIOUS CARROT COOKIES
These Simple & Delicious Carrot Cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth without having to make a special trip to the store. They're made with pantry staples you likely already have on hand. The recipe goes WAY back to the days when Home Ec was taught in High School. My sister, who's only four years older than me, brought it home and made them for us multiple times. I loved them so much, I hung on to the recipe and decided to pull it out all these years later.
