Yummy Afghan Biscuits

These yummy Afghan biscuits are quick and easy and perfect for kids lunchboxes.

My lovely Mum used to do a lot of baking when I was growing up.   The days we got off the school bus and Mum told us she had done baking were great!  Afghan biscuit’s were always a favorite and still are today.

I have topped my yummy Afghan Biscuits with coconut, only because my children do not like walnuts which you traditionally put on the top of Afghans.

These will keep in a airtight container for up to a week.

Enjoy
