P7B make Carrot Cookies

P7B learned a little bit about rationing during World War II then used the following recipe (from the 1940s) to make carrot cookies. 
  
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon margarine
2 tablespoons sugar + a little extra
A few drops vanilla flavouring
4 tablespoons grated raw carrot
6 tablespoons Self Raising flour (or plain flour + a half teaspoon of baking powder).
Method: 
Cream the fat and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the flavouring and carrot.
Fold in the flour.
Form mixture into about 12 or 15 small balls.
Place each ball on a baking tray and flatten.
Sprinkle with sugar and bake in a brisk oven for 20 minutes.
We omitted the extra sugar sprinkled over the top of the cookies and decided that they were sweet enough without that.
