  These were very easy to make and very good, the only thing I would say though was that it was not possible to roll my dough, I think it would have had to be chilled for a couple of hours for that, I just put heaped teaspoonfuls on a baking sheet ( and found that I made about 34 biscuits!) and they came out just fine. The marmalade adds an unusual but good twist to the flavour.

  I've just made these with my little boy and they're delicious. Lovely just out of the oven with a cup of earl gray. Will definitely be making these again!

  I made them using a dried berry mix of cherries. blueberries, strawberries, cranberries and raisins and they were delicious. As Sally mentioned chilling for a couple of hours wrapped in cling film makes them easier to cut. Also I cut the cookie dough in two kept one in the fridge and cooked the second batch the following day, would love to know if you could freeze the dough?

  As we didn't have enough porridge oats left, I used all of them (~140g) and reduced the quantities in rough proportions: 125g butter, 125 g flour, 125g sugar, 50g each raisins and chopped, dried apricots and chopped hazelnuts, 1 tsp of baking powder plus cinnamon and mixed spice to taste. The mixture was a bit too dry, so I added some milk which worked very well. I rolled the dough into small balls between the palms of my hands and then fltattened them on the baking tray with a dampened fork. Very yummy, especially when still warm. Will definitely be making them again.

  WOW... My 13 yr old daughter refuses anything with bits in, ie fruit or fruit except the odd apple. They are not even cool totally yet but she is on her 3rd. They are gorgeous. May be making more tomorrow at this rate.

  Lovely crumbly biscuits. Oaty, fruity and a hint of spice. Perfect Easter Monday treat.

  I made these for my choir practice and they were devoured! I used mixed nuts and my quince and orange marmalade which was very good in the cookies.... (not so good on it's own so I'll be making more to get rid of the marmalade!) I did half the mixture and still made 15 good size cookies.
