    They are lovely.

    I've lerned to make them fairly small and thick but with loads of room to spread. You can get a good 20 or so biscuits out of them this way. ;)

    Great recipe!

    Although they taste fab mine turned out a bit harder than I was expecting. Any ideas as to how I could make them a bit softer? Should I just add more syrup?

    (However I did find that they practically melt when I dip them in my tea! Yum! :))

    take the hobnobs out of the oven a bit sooner next time and they should be softer, timing is approx as everyones cookers are different, glad you liked them
