Coffee Biscuits with Almond Flakes

on Wednesday, March 2, 2011



Yet another simple and delicious recipe from my mum.  This is a 'freezer box' cookie where you can make the dough in advance and freeze until required.  If you are a coffee lover then this is definitely a cookie for you to try.  Its really light and crumbly with the wonderful aroma and taste of coffee.  The added crunch of the almond flakes gives it a nice texture.
