Spiced Cookies

No tiffin box worthy of the name should be without a cookie or three. So here are three to choose from: one with chewy fruity dates, one with a gingery crunch and one with fragrant cardamom. The perfect snacking food for a long trek and a Loftus family favourite (inherited from my explorer relative Colonel Woodthorpe), these cookies are intensely aromatic: the perfect edible pick-me-up.
