i tried putting in choc chips but they melted with the heat of the butter

I use some choc chips with nearly every batch that I make these are DH favourites. I make the basic mix or even double it and then divide it up into how many different types I am making e.g. ginger, plain, cranberry, choc chip etc and if I do the choc chips ones last, by the time I add the choc they don't melt. I no longer actually buy the ready to use choc chips, I buy a large bar of Aldi dark chocolate and chop it up, works out so much cheaper too.

My DH and Ds are ill with shingles so in a feigned attempt to make the healthier I used malt extract instead of the golden syrup and s-r wholemeal flour.
Worked well and the biscuits are being devoured as I type

When I flatten them a little on the trays I make a little dent in the middle and put a little bit of jam in them and they are yummy!

This sounds really yummy and as I have some malt extract, will give this a try over the weekend.
Hope your family are soon feeling better.

How did you make the toffee and apple ones? Did you cook the apples?

I'm sorry to butt in, but I'm not awake yet and read the thread title as Homophobic Hobnobs
