cup; level off. Stir in flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in carrots,
walnuts and raisins. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto
ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until edges are

bowl, combine powdered sugar, orange peel and enough orange juice for
desired consistancy; mix well. Frost cooled cookies. Yield 3 1/2 dozen.

NOTES : This is a "cake" like cookie, that has wonderful flavor. A great
way to get kids to eat carrots. They taste more like the orange frosting.
My kids love them.
