Bunya Nut Meal Cookies with Native Muntries & Lemon Myrtle
Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 16 cookies
Our Bunya Nut Meal Cookies with Native Muntries & Lemon Myrtle are utterly irresistible. Better still, they’re quick and easy to make, which means you can have fresh baked cookies in the oven and on the table just in time for morning tea. The taste is slightly nutty, with a slight spiced apple and juniper combination of native Muntries and the fresh zing of native Lemon Myrtle. The texture is soft and chewy, with a slightly crispy bite, similar to a macaron. They’re not too sweet, but just sweet enough and ever so slightly moreish.
