A dense coconut biscuit with a sweet hint with the white chocolate chunks. If you are after a vegan cookie, all the ingredients are actually vegan – apart from the white chocolate chunks so either swap normal white chocolate out for vegan choc-chips, or just take them out! The white chocolate chunks does make the cookies a lot sweeter though, but I did taste them without and still tastes delicious. Also, if you don’t require gluten free, normal flour is a good replacement for buckwheat flour – but keep the almond meal as this adds to the nutty & dense flavour of the biscuit!

- 3/4 cup Almond flour
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
