Sultana, Orange & Oat Cookies

Healthy. Cookies.

Genius or sacrilege?

Whatever your view point, these are yum! Originally a recipe from Leiths, the prestigious school of cookery, I was weary about the sheer amount of ingredients involved, but of course, my concerns were unfounded!

Perfect when in cahoots with it’s partner in crime: Tea ❤️
