When I was a teenager, our family became close friends with a dear neighbor, Mrs. Bushell. She often joined us for dinner and family celebrations. Like my mom, she was a wonderful baker and always brought over yummy things for us to eat. She happily shared her recipes with us which I added to our family cookbook a few years ago. Last night, I made her carrot cookies and lost count of how many I ate - they are delicious! She would have been be so happy to know I'm sharing her recipe with all of you. Enjoy ~
