This is so good Not so good for my waistline
I just traybaked the 'original' (a half batch) this afternoon and scoffed about 1/3 of it. Made with butter and reduced sugar @170g, may even reduce more next time. Thanks Twinks :T:T:T

I always reduce the sugar to 6 oz (about 170g), and the biscuits are still lush, but cheaper and healthier! I have reduced a bit lower (when I ran out of sugar once, and used all that was left, think it was about 5.5 ounces) and they were still lovely.

Hi, I was hoping to pick your clever brains - can I make Twinks hobnobs and freeze the uncooked dough, and will they turn out nicely at the end, does anyone know?

TIA

I freeze cookie dough all the time, just take it out a couple of hours before baking. I roll it into logs before freezing then shape after defrosting, but you can freeze in balls ready to pop straight onto a tray.

Tastes just as good as from fresh. :money:

Thank you - I wanted to make some cookie dough logs to slice up for when seasonal parties start getting on top of me but wasn't sure about the oats

Hi Sugarspun

Someone asked the same question last night in the hobnobs thread, so I have merged this with the main thread so you can read back. The mixture will freeze fine and slice from frozen perfect

good luck

Oooh I had my first ever twinks tonight, sat down with a couple (four) a coffee and had a good cry to united 93. Just what the doctor ordered.
I put cinnamon and sultanas in mine and they are not far from those yummy oat and raisin cookies!

Have made 2 batches this week, tonight's using value muesli - they are going down a storm. It's my first try at biscuits for a few years. I'm going to make some chocolate ones with grated chocolate next. I worked out that they cost less than £1 per batch, which is great.

My first 'half batch' only lasted 2 days
I ate all that butter :eek: but just couldn't resist.
