Trailmix Scroggin Cookies

I’ve always got a handful or two of scroggin in my pack, along with muesli bars as snacks when I’m hiking. Then I came across this recipe from the lovely folk at Mediterranean Market in Queenstown, NZ for Scroggin Cookies (ie. Biscuits) and thought I’d give it a whirl.

I decided to change the recipe a bit to reduce the amount of sugar and they turned out a treat! Delicious, easy, quick and full of good stuff.
