TIPP TOP Cookies

I am the cookie monster! I think you guys may have noticed by now I love making a good
cookie recipe. I mean who doesn’t love cookies? These were christened the TIPP TOP cookies as I created the recipe whilst I was down home n Tipperary and they got top marks from the fam. I have made them tonnes of times since and they really remind me of a hob nob! When you blend the oats and almonds don’t over blend them into a fine flour leave them a little chunky – for a nice crunch!

Serves 20 cookies
