How To Make bonnie’s carrot cookies

• 
  Step 1
  Note: There is no liquid in the recipe. Don't add any. This recipe makes 24 good sized cookies. The icing recipe makes a generous amount. More than enough to coat two batches of cookies.
• 
  Step 2
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 10 - 12 minutes, or more. It really depends on how large you make your cookies. These are big, and it took 23 minutes.

  Step 3
  Mix all the ingredients by hand and form a ball. Use a melon scoop to form small balls of dough.
• 
  Step 4
  Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet. I use an air baking pan. Press the balls down with flat fingers to about 1/2 inch thick. They do spread a little.

  Step 5
  Cool cookies on a rack.

  Step 6
  MAKE THE ICING: Wash an orange and dry it with paper towels. Zest the orange into a medium mixing bowl. Cut the orange in half and squeeze only 1/2 of the orange into the bowl.

  Step 7
  Add powdered sugar (a little at a time) to the bowl and, mix well. Using a hand mixer, beat the icing smooth until it is thick enough to spread, adding more powdered sugar if needed.
