Notes

Experiment with different nuts for a unique texture. For a healthier version, consider using half whole wheat flour or reducing the sugar. Store wrapped tightly in plastic or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to refresh its softness before serving.
