When I came across this carrot cookie recipe from an online blog that focuses on recipes from the 1940s, I knew I had to give the 80-year-old gem a go. Passed down through generations, this time-honored recipe seemed to encapsulate the essence of home baking, embodying warmth, comfort and nostalgia. The best part? I also noticed that it only required one bowl and a handful of easy-to-find ingredients. Here's what happened when I made it in my kitchen.

How to Make the 80-Year-Old Carrot Cookies
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a greased baking tray, pressing down slightly to shape the cookies. Before baking, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with extra sugar for added sweetness and texture. Bake until the cookies are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch, which should take 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

What I Thought of the 80-Year-Old Carrot Cookies
Another thing I loved about these cookies was the fact that they were sweet, but not overly sweet. The added sugar on top gave me what I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth without feeling as if it was too much. My only complaint is that the recipe only makes about 10 cookies because I definitely wanted more. Overall, I would absolutely make these again—especially if I need a better-for-you treat. I'd suggest that you enjoy these cookies with a cup of tea on spring afternoon or savor them as a midnight snack.
