I think I’ve been making too many chocolate biscuits recently – although they’re the family favourite – so today I made some Toffee and Raisin Cookies, just for a change. I think they taste really good and just like toffee, but my girls seem to dislike raisins these days – (I think I gave them too many as toddlers, it was one of the few, safe, easily available snacks!) – so they weren’t so keen. Anyway, they’ve been taken into school – we’ll see if 3M like them.
Toffee and Raisin Cookies (dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, sesame-free, soya-free, vegetarian and vegan)
