Nutty Roca Cookies recipe

A not-too-tart lemon topping over a sweet crust.

Great salad, looks elegant but is reasonably easy to put together. Loved the combination of textures, crunchy croutons, slightly spicy rocket (arugula) and perfectly dressed with just a bit of tang from the dressing.

This is one of those recipes that is more of a guideline—I really encourage you to adapt the amounts and ingredients to your tastes. If you like it chunky, don’t puree it. If you like a thinner soup, add more chicken broth. If you don’t like heat, omit the cayenne.

Whole wheat flour, oats, most olive oil or grape-seed oil and small amount of butter make these cookies much healthier but still packed with deliciousness.
