Harvest Breakfast Cookies

Cookies for breakfast?  Yes please!  They cookies are grain-free and sweetened with fresh fruit.  The cookies taste delicious with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning and are a perfect nut free snack to send into school with my girls’.  These are also great with walnuts if they don’t need to be nut free.  These cookies are kid tested and parent approved!
