Description

These moist, richly flavoured biscuits are perfect for a snack for children... and adults who've never really grown up! With their oat flakes, grated courgettes (incognito!) and chocolatey touches, they offer a balance between indulgence and a little more fibre than traditional cookies. They freeze very well, so you can prepare the dough in advance and bake the biscuits when you need them.
