These delicious cookies are packed with nutrition. They're soft and chewy and would also make a great breakfast on the go. They're gluten-free and contain no sugar, salt, or oil- just the delicious flavors of the fruit come through. Big hit for the kids! These are delicious straight out of the oven but leftovers should be refrigerated. We enjoy eating them reheated.
