Carrot-Apple Cookies

This is one of our favorite HEALTHY cookies!  When my daughter was little, I always tried to have these on hand, knowing it was a snack that was good for her.  This recipe can always be adapted for gluten-free diets by substituting a mix of GF flours and adding 1 tsp. xanthan gum.  These are chewy with a taste reminiscent of carrot cake.  Enjoy!
