Best Cookie Recipes From Our Travels

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love cookies? They come round, square, as bars or balls, nutty, fruity, spicy, chocolatey – the range is, well, delicious. What we love most about cookies, (besides eating them), is that there are so many to enjoy as we travel around the globe (which, now that we think about it is round like a cookie!). Here’s a roundup of popular cookie recipes from the pages of Real Food Traveler, that have come to us by way of traveling.
