🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Tahini and grape molasses are foods traditionally favoured at breastfeeding mothers' tables, rich in calcium, iron and energy. Whole-wheat flour, with its fibre and B-group vitamins, can help you feel full for longer. Baked rather than fried, these cookies can be a practical, portable and satisfying snack for busy days.
