This recipe was sent to me by my friend Kristin in one of those beautiful, colourful letters that she surprises me with. What I like most about these biscuits is that they are simple and healthy, but most importantly, they taste so good.
tips
- The original recipe recommended ¼ – ½ cups of maple syrup, so I went for a ⅓ cup but found them too sweet. Next time, I would try a ¼ cup. I added two tablespoons of sesame seeds. They also stay crunchy the next day, which makes them a pretty good cookie.
- If you find these cookies too sticky to shape, wash your hands and keep them slightly wet.
