© Claudia's Cookbook - Farmers Cookies 13 First off – welcome to my newly redesigned website! I hope you like it. On a whim, I spent the better part of yesterday night playing with different designs and incorporating my content into it. I wanted a more visual layout. I hope I have succeeded! To celebrate, let’s eat some cookies! It feels like I have been making a lot of different cookies lately. I mean, not that it’s a bad thing! They are easy, bite-sized and pretty fun to eat. Not to mention, the are easy to transport to work. Ain’t nobody got time to worry about that cupcake frosting that may look mangled after you had to press a little too hard on the car brakes on your way to work in the morning.

These cookies are such a nice change from your typical sweet variety. They encompass so many amazing, natural ingredients. I guess that’s why Claudia insists on calling them “Farmer Cookies”. Such superfoods as flax seed, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, nuts and oats. Cornflakes….okay, maybe not a super food to most, but I consider it a very important part of my childhood. I could go on and on. These cookies have a nice crunchy texture and are rich in flavour. A great alternative to the sweeter dessert.
