Miracle Baking Powder Pie Crust
Wonderful. I like this process for making pie crust, pretty easy to follow. My second time around with this recipe I made sure to add enough water to keep the dough stuck together, rather than stopping at the amount given in the recipe. It needed a touch more so that I didn't have issues rolling it out later. Very yummy; I'm so glad I found it.

Chocolate Chip Cookies VI
Wonderful! Our garden did well this year, so I've gone a little overboard with putting carrots and squash into everything I make... so I didn't put 1 and a half cups of zucchini, because my husband wanted me to bake something "normal"...ha ha. With closer to a half cup of zuks, no one else in the family could tell they weren't regular chocolate chippers. They did turn out puffy, not flat, and have a cute little shape. I used one cup of regular sized semi-sweet chips. Awesome!

Carrot Cookies III
These turned out yummy! I used carrots dug from our garden, and with no shortening in the house, substituted 1/4 cup canola oil and 1/2 cup butter. For the icing, I started with the 1/3 cup powdered sugar and added ONE Tablespoon of orange juice, then added more sugar until it was thicker. Even then I had to put only a few drops at a time to keep the icing from flowing off the sides. My parents and siblings all praised these cookies! Try them!
