Posted: 12/23/2008 5:18:55 PM | Note: This is the original recipe. I recommend just trying two or three the first and second cookie sheet until you find the right time and temperature for your oven. I make my spoonfuls a little bigger.
Applesauce Jumbles
2 ¾ cups All-purpose flour
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup applesauce
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup raisins
Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts if desired
Mix all ingredients except glace. (if dough is soft, cover and refrigerate.) Heat oven to 375F. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until almost no indentation remains when touched. Immediately remove from cookie sheet and let cool. Spread with glaze.
Browned Butter Glaze
Heat 1/3 cup butter or margarine over low heat until golden brown:
Remove from heat. Stir in 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons vanillia.
Stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons hot water until desired consistency.. | |

Golden Carrot Cookies
1 cup Mashed cooked carrots (about 4 medium)
¾ cup sugar
½ cup shortening
½ cup butter or margarine, softened. (can use unsalted butter)
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup shredded or flaked coconut.
Orange butter frosting: see below
Heat oven to 400. Mix carrots, sugar, shortening, butter and eggs. Stir in coconut. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until almost no indentation remains when touched, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool.
Orange Butter Frosting
3 tablespoons butter or margarine (unsalted butter is best)
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
About 1 tablespoon orange juice
Mix butter and powdered sugar. Stir in orange peel and orange juice: beat until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency. Spread on cooled cookies.
I've made the frosting in a small sauce pan also, under low heat and then spooned it over the cookies when it thickened up a bit after taking it off the heat. Still tastes good! | |

Posted: 12/23/2008 6:30:27 PM | | OMG- my mother made what turned out to be a huge batch of carrot cookies many years ago. They were not iced and it became a major source of embarrassment when anyone visited, as out came those cookies. Carrot cake is fine but never again for carrot cookies! Did I miss the recipe for the decadent chocolate cookies? | |
