HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Devonshire Clotted Cream Cookies are not particularly healthy, they can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation.
The clotted cream in this recipe is a good source of calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth. Additionally, the use of self-raising flour makes these cookies higher in protein than traditional cookies.
