  Decent cookies, although a little dry and bland in the non toffee/apple bits. I remade them with about a tsp of mixed spice, removing 40g of the sugar and replacing it with a tablespoon of maple syrup and a generous dollop of golden syrup, and we found that they were chewier and tastier.

  I have to say these didn't come out dry or bland for me, they were some of the best cookies I have made, I replaced the apple with apricots as my supermarket didn't have any apple and I am going to make them again tomorrow but with chocolate and toffee. I think I will use this recipe often changing the flavours now and then.

  Very tastey, however make sure you cut up the toffees quite small...I didn't and ended up with the toffee molding the cookies into one big lump! Opps! Enjoy!

  Very tasty, but a little crumbly, could probably do with a tbsp of milk in the mixture to make it bind better as well.

  I make these every year. Do use soft toffees. I tried these once with tesco value toffees - I was on an economy drive - they tasted great but it was such an effort to break the toffee into small enough pieces.

  Delicious! I made these with dried apricots, chopped up small, chocolate chips and sultanas instead of toffees and apple. They were absolutely delicious. Firm favourites in our house now.

  I fiddled with this recipe quite a bit, used fresh pear instead of dried apple and fudge instead of toffee, I also replaced half the flour with oats and put 50g extra ground almond in to compensate for the extra moisture in the pears. Result: absolutely delicious!

  This recipe made about 36 cookies for me. I added a tbsp of maple syrup and 1tsp mixed spice. They were yummy for a Halloween and Bonfire Party.

  made and enjoyed these tonight. I think the dough might be better with some cinamon in. I used Dairy toffees and gave them a couple of secs in the microwave before chopping them up with scissors which i dipped in the ground alonnds and flour to stop the blades being sticky.

  Very tasty indeed. BUT they glued themselves to the baking tray and they fell apart afterwards.

  Made these tonight - used some oat bran with the flour, added mixed spice and used cheap toffees but they worked! (put them into a plastic bag and bashed with the rolling pin). Also used dried apricot - lovely!

  What a disaster. I made double the quantity for two different events and hardly had any cookies that did not fall apart. I won't make these again.

  Love these cookies, took them to bake club the other night and they were a hit. Only 4 stars from me though as I did find the mixture quite dry and crumbly and therefore hard to work with, but this didn't seem to have any impact on the taste, which was delicious.

  I thought these were yummy- apart from the dried apple was a little bit hard to chew but I think that was just the type of dried apple and the chewy toffee was so hard to cut up! But other than that - YUM!
