Chloe's Cookies (from Katy)

Today I have a wonderful sweet treat recipe to share that has been sent in from Katy who blogs at Katy I See You.  I think these would be just the thing for a rainy-day afternoon tea.

Katy writes: "This is a modified version of Anzac biscuits. I have a wonderful, imaginative three year old daughter who loves to have a cup of tea with a biscuit (as do I). The only issue we had was a lot of biscuits have so many preservatives, additives, etc and she would often be climbing the walls afterwards (yes she is a little food sensitive) so we created a simple, yet pretty healthy (I hope) version of ANZAC biscuits.

The recipe and the creation are so basic it is a great one to let little ones play chef with - just adults are need for the melting part. There is a little sugar so they are a bit of a sweet treat especially good for that 3pm burnout for parents!"

Thanks Katy - and Chloe!
