I think its about time for a nice mid morning or afternoon treat. Except like most of my recipe there is some nutritious ingredients snuck in here in the form of oats almonds and coconut. As you probably know oats are high in fibre, have no fat and lower cholestrol. Almonds also lower cholestrol and are great for your heart, and coconut, despite the bad rep it seems to get, is high in fibre, vitamins and minerals. All of this is one cookie!
For those of you from New Zealand and Australia, these reminded me of modified Anzac biscuits. They have a nice crunchy outside and a slightly chewy inside. If you were feeling adventurous I think these would be really nice with some dried cranberries in them too.
