Kate Petty, from the Health and Wellbeing team, is back with another recipe. This time it’s homemade cookies!
Made with store cupboard staples, this recipe is a healthy alternative to your average cookie and is the perfect snack for any time of day. You can easily adapt the recipe to make it vegan by using vegan dark chocolate and replacing the honey with maple syrup.
