I am always on the hunt for a sweet little snack for Harry that is good for him. I have come up with these little carrot and fruit cookies and he loves them, particularly when we are out and about in the pram and he needs something to snack on. They freeze really well so are perfect for travelling lunch boxes. When buying the apricots, coconut and sultanas try and pick the brands that don’t contain any sulphur, check your ingredients list, they like to hide that little nasty in most dried fruit.

    My daughter loves these cookies! I was just wondering if they can be frozen after cooking them?
