Flourless Raisin Cookies

We are all kinds of "free" in this house. In the last 2 months or so we have cut out sugar, dairy, and gluten. Its opened up a whole new world to me. The main meals were not really hard to switch over, but I am a snack-er! I like sweet treats. So we have been baking some up recently, I just wanted to save some of the better ones here.
