Note

Storage: Keep these cookies refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain texture. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

Variation: Try adding dried fruits like cranberries or raisins to the muesli mix for extra sweetness and chewiness.

Tip: Ensure the water in the double boiler is simmering gently, not boiling vigorously, to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
