Kids’ Kitchen: Crumbs, it’s cookie recipes

Post Thumbnail

It’s time to roll your sleeves up, boys and girls, and have a bit of fun making these cookies.

Both are very easy to make but require you to get hands on and do a spot of rolling and shaping.

Packed with oats and studded with raisins, the oat cookies are great for breakfast or tasty snacks anytime.

This cookie dough can be made in advance and chilled or frozen until you are ready to bake them.

Everyone loves a chocolate chip cookie, and these indulgent treats will have the grown-ups asking you to make them again and again.

Both the cookie recipes are suitable for vegetarians and are free from soya and nuts.

Doves Farm products are available online at dovesfarm.co.uk and at all major retailers, independent health food stores and farm shops.
