The 5 grains cookies, like the famous Grancereale, are even more delicious and nutritious when homemade. With oatmeal and four different types of flour, hazelnuts, and raisins, they are very easy to prepare for those who, like me, love to bake cookies.
If you’ve tried any of my delicious cookie recipes, the 5 grains cookies should not be missing from your breakfast tray, accompanied by natural fruit juice.
