MYSTERIOUS FLAVOR? This 1960s recipe may surprise you! Cooky Book Recipes

Baking for Spring? Consider adding this carrot cookies recipe to your list! These light, cakey little cookies are great at any time of year, but their pastel orange color looks especially pretty in the Springtime. Betty Crocker cookie recipes are among some of my absolute favorites, especially Cooky Book Recipes.
