glad the biscuits came out better this time eels, i think using hard marg or butter works best, good luck with the anzacs

I've got butter on my shopping order for next week so I'm going to make some more then. Though DH happily munches them even when they're a bit soft!

sharon, i have never used oatmeal in the recipe but use asdas smartprice porridge oats, will look up a website for you for the oatmeal
polly, glad your dh likes the biscuits, if they are a bit soft you might be making them a bit big, you should get about 46, or they might need a few minutes more cooking

The second lot I made, I made them smaller and cooked them for longer. They are still a bit soft but not quite so......maybe butter next week will be the missing factor! They have a lovely flavour anyway.

Just made our frst batch (me and my Junior masterchef in the making, aged nearly 5) - they look scrummy. Desperately waiting for them to cool and sample.

Thank you for making a small boy so happy - he wants to make more already!

I made the hobnobs today for the first time and I have to say they looked exactly like hobnobs and tasted like them too - I put too many on the baking sheet with the first few and they ran together so then I spaced them out more and they were great! Only thing is I have eaten them all day and couldn't eat my tea a few minutes ago - my stomach is sooooooo full!
