Quick, chewy peanut butter cookies with cranberries, raisins and walnuts.
My children, especially my boy, love these biscuits. They are really crisp with some soft spots here and there, crunchy as well due to the nuts, sweet and wholesome. The only problem is, when you taste them, you cannot stop after eating just one or two, so you’d better just take one or two out of the box, then put the box away so you’re not immediately tempted again.
They are great with a cup of hot coffee or tea in the afternoon while chatting with your best friend or even in the morning instead of your usual muesli. Well, they’re definitely not so healthy as real muesli but once in while… …
The biscuits also make a great present, just wrap them in some nice box and take them with you. The receiver will definitely be glad you did.
