They were awesome.
Even my kid who said "Yuck, carrots in cookies? Gross!" ended up enjoying them. And my kid who said he doesn't like cookies because of their texture also enjoyed these, because their texture isn't the typical cookie texture. The outside is a bit crunchy, but the inside is soft like cake.
They taste phenomenal, and were easy to make, and cheap as well. While mine are gluten free and vegan, feel free to play around with this and use wheat flour instead of the gluten free flour mix, and use 2 eggs instead of the ground flax seed and water.
I used the small holes on my grater for this. If you want to use the large hole, it probably should be fine, but I can't guarantee results.

1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Grate your carrots using the smallest edge on a box grater.
2. Mix all the ingredients together.
