About Afghan biscuit

Afghan Biscuits are a classic New Zealand treat renowned for their rich, indulgent flavor and unique texture. Made primarily from butter, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and cornflakes, these cookies have a soft, crumbly base with a delightful crunch from the cornflakes. They are traditionally topped with a layer of chocolate icing and finished with a walnut half for added elegance. While not a health food, Afghan Biscuits offer a source of energy from their carbohydrate and fat content. The walnuts provide a small dose of healthy fats, but the high sugar, butter, and chocolate content make them best enjoyed in moderation. Originating from Kiwi baking traditions, these biscuits are a beloved part of New Zealand’s culinary heritage, often baked at home for celebrations or enjoyed alongside tea. Perfect for occasional treating, they exemplify the rich and comforting flavors of classic homemade desserts.
