The number 4 really is a special number. When something only has 4 ingredients, it makes it seem so do-able.
And these cookies are delicious and chewy, and impossible really to stop at one.
In fact, that’s one of the reasons I’m sharing this recipe with you today.
I have been eating waaayyy to many cookies.
If you read my last blog post, you’d see that on Monday, I’m going on a bit of a health kick before Christmas – you’re welcome to join me and sign up to my weekly emails and our little Facebook Group!
While these cookies are nowhere near the nasty stuff you’d find in the supermarket, I think it is important for us all to recognise that sometimes there can be too much of a good thing – and I’m the type of person that struggles to stop at one, so sayonara 4 ingredient cookies for the next 12 weeks, but may those of you who aren’t embarking on my little health kick enjoy them all for me!
