"A rich, cocoa based dough is peppered with glitter-flecked mint white chocolate chips before rolling in a powdered and sanding sugar combination. Using ground tigernuts (chufa) added a hint of (nut free) texture and a wonderfully complex flavour."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Montessori teacher, nutritionist and pastry chef: baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart too! I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p> 9408826"
