I do not like the name digestive but I like a simple biscuit with whole wheat flour. The Bon Appetit recipe adds wheat germ but can use oat or ground flax or additional flour instead. I like the idea of making a few cookies with chocolate and leaving the rest plain. The cookie will last several days or maybe a week in a sealed container.
