What’s a fun and easy dessert I can make that packs a punch of vitamins and minerals? Betty Crocker’s answer: Carrot Cookies.

This WWII era recipe is meant to use up the abundance of carrots you might be growing in your victory garden. The carrots lend a perfect sweetness to these cookies, which turned out super fluffy and moist. A tart orange icing pairs perfectly with the carrot and coconut flavor of the cookies.

In this episode we also discuss how government WWII propaganda led citizens to believe that carrots gave them superpowers!

Happy Homemaking!
