This week I am thrilled to introduce a new range of cookies made in Belgium by the family-run Generous artisan bakery. The Generous cookies stand out because, while being organic and gluten-free, they are also uncompromisingly scrumptious and full of personality.
Our selection features two soft oat bakes to boost your breakfasts (aka Martin Matin and Martine Matin), one lemon shortbread (aka Céline Citron), one intense chocolate biscuit (aka Charlotte Chocolat) and, of course, Belgium's traditional speculoos cookie (aka Sylvain Speculoos). Have a bite!
Enjoy the favors. Take good care of yourself.
