I found this recipe on Martha Stewart's website. I should have known better. Every time I make anything using a Martha recipe, it doesn't turn out right. I think the lady is a domestic goddess, don't get me wrong, but her recipe's don't ever seem to work out for me. It's strange. I think it's a conspiracy, designed to make housewives feel inferior to Martha. Jerks. Anywho, here's the recipe. If I ever venture to make these cookies again, I will try to remedy the crumbly cookie problem by adding the full egg, maybe even 2 eggs. Egg binds the ingredient together, it's weird this recipe calls for egg yolk only........my conspiracy suspicion thickens.

Ina Garten has a recipe for carrot cake cupcakes in her barefoot contessa parties book- and I SWEAR TO GOD they are the most delicious thing I've ever made, in spite of the awful awful task of grating a million carrots!
I have made these cookies before. I added pureed carrots to the mix and they were a lot better.
i agree about the cupcakes with ina. with a cream cheese frosting people think they are the greatest. A remedy to grating is the ever lovely food processor. it is done in seconds!
I'm sort of embarrassed to admit- but I've had a food processor for about six months now and I haven't used it once! I think it's just from years of cooking without one, I constantly forget how handy it could be! Thanks for the reminder!
I am so glad you have this blog!The Martha Stuart thing is so funny. :)
Hey I have a new blog called
Seasonal Report check it out and let me know what you think. :)
