My toddler son and I really love these cookies. They are a great way to "sneak" some extra fruit in his diet. The taste is great, especially if you use a tart apple...Braeburn, Granny Smith. The texture is very good, but be aware that they turn out more like little cakes rather than cookies. No complaints on that here though! There is no way the recipe makes 40 cookies if you are using a tablespoon to measure the scoops...24 tops.
