good for you

I’ve been meaning to tell you about this one. Early in the summer, I had an amazing spa day at St. Anne’s in Grafton. St. Anne’s is a glorious place to reconnect with yourself, friends and nature.
We spent the entire day in robes relaxing while waiting to be whisked off for a massage or facial. We went in the eucalyptus steam room, hot tub and pools and enjoyed a very relaxing yoga class. We ate a delicious lunch out on the terrace, enjoyed the grounds and later had a beautiful afternoon tea.
It was difficult to leave but what made it a little bit easier was leaving with this recipe. These are the kind of cookies that are so full of things that are good for you; you really are treating yourself.

St. Anne’s Spa Sesame and Flax Seed Snaps

2/3 cup spelt flour
¼ tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground ginger
½ cup sesame seeds
¾ cup flax seeds
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter - softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Drop on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
