    I also tripled the recipe and put two "logs" in the freezer to use again. They were large biscuits and went down very well in our house. I think these cookie "log" recipes are great as you get uniform size cookies.

    These are gorgeous. I used dried cranberries and raisins and once cooled smothered them with melted milk chocolate. Chilled in the fridge and we have since gobbled at least three batches! Sensational!

    I really liked these, though I wouldnt bother with the blueberries again as they're very expensive and the flavour lessens after the baking. To be honest I think raisins would have been nicer. Paula try using baking parchment/greaseproof paper to protect the bottom of the biscuits but I think they sound about right to me, they are better pale and just golden round the very edges.

    Really great, mine came out a bit pale so I left them in for an extra 5 minutes and they were a nice golden colour. I used raisins instead of blueberries and brazil nuts instead of pecans (I'd ran out of pecans). The raisins were lovely and the brazils were good, however I would try to use pecans next time. I also used flora instead of butter for a slightly healthier version and still thought they were fab. A great family favourite.

    Super yummy! They needed an extra 10 mins but that may just be my oven! i substituted pecans for white chocolate chips as my boyfriend has an allergy! the whole family loved them.

    I've just made my second batch. Absolutely delish! Although they do need an extra 5-10 mins in the oven than the recipe suggests. Go make some ...

    These are an absolute hit with my family. I used fresh blueberries by mistake and now use them every time. I make 24 cookies out of the dough rather than 12 American size ones! Now everyone just eats two at a time.....they work ok with walnuts too.

    I made these earlier and they are absolutely lovely. They were really easy to make and i used dried cranberries and dark choc chips, yummy!! I'll definately be baking these again with lots of different additions, definately a winner.

    Made these with dairy free sunflower spread as my daughter is lactose intolerant and just used raisins in them. The mixture was too soft to roll into the sausage shape, think this was due to not using butter. I just spooned the mixture onto the baking sheets still turned out delicious
