Carrot Cake Cookies

"The healthiest cookies on the planet!" It's almost like eating a salad. :)

I have always enjoyed a decadent moist slice of carrot cake. But when you get lazy and are in need of a quick 'carrot cake fix-me up', you can make these simple carrot cake cookies!

These cookies are moist, yummy goodness, so healthy that you can even eat them for breakfast. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, suitable for vegans. They are full of nutrients, and yumminess.
