Time 2h23m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed cooked carrots
¾ cup shredded coconut
⅓ cup margarine, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • Cream together 1 cup margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time while continuing to beat until incorporated. Continue to beat in the mashed carrot, coconut, and flour mixture until all the ingredients are well moistened. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies slightly flatten and are golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack, and cool completely.
  • To make the orange-butter frosting, cream together 1/3 cup margarine with confectioners' sugar, orange zest, and orange juice until light and fluffy. Ice the cookies with the frosting once cool.

I'm allergic to carrots, but I was still able to enjoy these cookies. I just substituted the carrots for grated zucchini.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The carrot flavor is subtle and the coconut is not overpowering.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover carrots. They're also a healthier alternative to other cookies.

I found that the cookies were a bit dry. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

These carrot coconut cookies were a hit with my family! They're soft, chewy, and have the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. I'll definitely be making these again.
