These cookies are a delightful combination of crunchy almonds, sweet coconut, rich chocolate, and a sprinkling of seeds, creating a harmonious blend of flavours and textures that will satisfy any craving.
They are high in fibre thanks to the seeds and nuts they contain, so will fill you up a lot more than a store-bought biscuit. And, they are super easy to make!
