Byron Bay Cookies (Giveaway!)

White Choc Chunk cookies

If you’re used to your cookies being soft and chewy, then it may be time to try a new style, baked in the UK branch of the Byron Bay Cookie Company!

Beyond The Bean were kind enough to send us an assorted box to review, and we were surprised at how different these cookies are – on the whole they’re large, crumbly, and packed with big chunks of fruit, nut or chocolate, depending on which variety you go for.
