Carrot Breakfast Cookies
Now I wish I could say that these are the answer, but there is sugar in them. I guess I try to compensate by saying that they contain carrots, oatmeal and low sugar dried cranberries. Better than some things, right?
If you follow me you know I have Dachshunds - 3 of them. So when I took pictures of my cookies, I decided to put them on one of my Dachshund tea towels.
Isn't that tea towel cute?

Carrot Breakfast Cookies

- 1/2cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3cup canola oil

- 3/4cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2cup all-purpose flour

- In a small bowl combine yogurt and honey. When cookies have cooled, drizzle with yogurt glaze, if desired. (I added some powdered sugar to the yogurt to make it sweeter.)
