I have finally got around to making these, they are great. Dh and both my boys really liked them. I made one batch plain and the other batch with choc chips Mmmmmm

Thanks Twink.

They are so filling too

I am cooking our dinner at the moment and everyone is complaining of being full they only had two/three each.....

I don't think I like ginger, but I have been reading through and will try some of the ideas...it is my MILs birthday soon so i will make some for her, nice and chocolatey ones.

I will have a go at rolling them out next time too they look so neat that way and there will be no arguing from the boys about who got a bigger one. hehe

I also got round to making these today.
Very luuuurvley twink :T
Although, I think I put in 1 tsp of the bicarb instead of half tsp:o .
Still good though

For half the batch I put some dried cranberrys in, and left the other half plain. Very tasty.

Anyone for another biscuit recipe Aussie sent me the details of her Anzac biscuits - they have coconut in them, and with more butter and less syrup than Twink's hobnobs, they have a more crunchy texture.



The recipe is here.

I wouldn't like to say which are better, they're both delicious in their own special way

Pen Pen, retiring to a distant corner, to watch battle commence :cool:

right aussie the battle starts here

pen pen mine have less syrup at only one tbsp plus the coconut makes them more fattening and i have to say yours look rather well done so would be more crunchy :rotfl: they do look delicious though

Anzacs have that lovely brown colour and not that insipid scottish white colour that Twinks have.

They are excellent for dunking as well. They look lovely Pen Pen. Good job for a non-aussie. There you go, wasn't I nice and polite.

Hi Twink, I too have made the hobnobs, sunday and yesterday.

A success and a half. First batch went in the evening (sunday) with lots of 'mmmmm thanks Mum they're delicious'.

Managed to count the batch I made last night, 56, so I'm pleased.

I also bought another 2 baking trays in honour of the hobnobs as I only had one flat one.

Got them reduced from Mr T last night, originally £2.99 down to 74p for a baking tray and crisper tray (the one with holes in for crispier oven chips) set. So I bought 2.:D

So all in all bit of old style, bit of moneysaving and a bit of good parenting.

Aussielass, I will also make your Anzac's as I have some coconut and let you know how these go down in the Triker household.:D

I am going to try and have a baking evening tonight. Aswell as some Minature Heroes Brownies and some rolls for lunches I shall try your recipe Twink, as I love hobnobs. Has anyone tried melting chocolate on top a la McVities chocolate covered Hobnobs?
