Sweat & Nourish

The store-bought, Woolies, variety of these cookies are one of my Dads favourite treats. They’re moist, soft, chewy and so very indulgent, what’s not to love. But with 28g of sugar and 5g of saturated fat per cookie they aren’t the best for regular consumption – which is hard when they’re so moreish.

This home-made recipe comes in at around 180 calories per cookies with 2.7g saturated fat and 9g sugar, and they taste just as buttery and sweet!
