These cookies take me right back to my childhood. My dad would make a batch of these + they would be devoured in an afternoon by my brother + I. Well, ok. Mum + Dad had a few too.
I have made my own version that are refined sugar free (apart from the dark chocolate chips) + gluten free.
Their texture is a little more softer, more like a shortbread consistency + they are totally addictive! A lovely sweet treat to go with your afternoon cuppa.
These days, I can have two cookies + be done.
