SIMPLE & DELICIOUS CARROT COOKIES: Easy Recipe Using Pantry Staples

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. Read on to make them yourself.

Carrot Cookies

3/4 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
pinch of salt

In large bowl, cream together sugar and shortening. Add in egg and continue mixing. In separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, & salt). Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until consistent dough forms. Add in carrots and mix to combine. Drop cookie dough onto baking sheet by the teaspoonful and bake at 350º for 12-15 minutes or until edges of cookie are golden brown. Let cookies cool completely before eating.
