We created Darl Cookies to be enjoyed as a healthy treat when you’re craving something sweet. We bake them in the Byron Bay region using Australian ingredients like roasted almonds, pecan flour and macadamia oil. All Darl Cookies are made by hand which means you can see and taste each of our premium organic ingredients. We add a touch of brown rice syrup and bake till they’re crunchy, chewy and a tiny bit sweet. The perfect healthy treat for mid-afternoon munchies or a hungry belly that needs a snack on the go.
Enjoy with a cuppa, on the road, in lunchboxes or as a healthy snack when you’re craving something sweet but chocolate or biscuits simply won’t do.
Our pecan flour is milled in country Victoria from Australian pecans. It creates a caramely, nutty flavour unlike anything you've ever tasted.

Story
Tuesday morning at 7:45 is the most important time of my week. It’s when I arrive at our kitchen to spend the day making Darl Cookies. I bake in small batches so our cookies are always fresh. The kitchen is located 30 minutes inland of Byron Bay in the Northern Rivers hinterland and is surrounded by macadamia farms. I like how the macadamia oil we use in our recipes is made from many of the macadamias harvested from the farms surrounding our kitchen.
As I tip the ingredients into the mixer, the room fills with the aromas of pecans which I source from Australian farmers in northern VIC. As the mixer does its thing, I get my equipment ready. I make everything by hand, so my main tools are a rolling pin and a cutting knife. I crank up my favourite 70’s hits playlist and begin rolling, cutting, baking and packing the days Darl Cookies.
It took me 212 experiments to perfect our Caramel Pecan recipe and at each bake I can make precisely 1626 cookies. Making them by hand means that each one is a slightly different shape and size, which I think adds to their charm.
