As young adults, there is so much expected of us. There are days where you have to multi-task things that really shouldn't be done at the same time; Like filing your nails while driving. I'm a believer in enjoying everything you do and never doing anything simply because you think you "should." But this doesn't apply if you're a slacker. Being lazy is lame.

Carrott Cookies

Combine:
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c butter
3/4 c sugar (granulated)
2 eggs
1 c mashed carrots

Combine:
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c shredded coconut

Mix two mixtures together. Plop small servings onto greased cookie sheet. Temp 400 for 8-10 minutes. Bottom will be brown.

Optional icing:
3 Tbl soft butter
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
2 tsp grated orange peel
1 Tbl orange juice

Frost baked and cooled cookies.

Difficultly 1/2: Cooking and mashing the carrots takes some effort, but they're really not anymore difficult than other cookies. Oven use is required.
