Nectarines provide twice the amount of Vitamin A, and slightly more Vitamin C and potassium than peaches, making them perfect for the kids. They also have a good amount of fibre and add a sweet flavour to your cookies. If you want to make them taste and look even better, drizzle them with some vanilla glaze, white chocolate or milk chocolate icing. They are a great lunch box filler to go along with their sandwiches or healthy salads.
