Just got my allergy test result - goodbye wheat and rice and hello having to make your own biccies. Anyhoo, I doubled the recipe, used light brown sugar, dropped 30g of sugar out, added 80% cocoa drops and used white rye flour. Made them a bit bigger and baked for 15mins. They. Are. Amazing ! If you use a sweeter choc, you could probably drop another 50g of sugar out if thats your thing. Great base recipe to adjust and play with - I've always been a bit nervous of rye due to the lack of gluten and not loving the feel of xantham gum. No need to worry now - thank you Dove (and for shipping flour abroad :) ).

Great recipe though I've adapted a little. I don't have white rye flour so I used whole rye flour, light muscovado sugar (the dark is yummy but too powerful), 1-2T of cinnamon and a splash of water to help bind. If you cook them for 12-13 minute they are like a cookie, 15 minutes like a biscuit.

These were great however first time through i just couldn't get the dough to bind. In the end I added an egg (naughty) but this made an enormous difference. If you're not allergic to eggs, I recommend that.

These are delicious, really easy to make. Like shortbread but with more flavour and an interesting crunchy texture.

Chunky?? I made 24 tiny biscuits, however, they were delicious.

Delicious biscuits but the oven temperature is too high.

I was worried about these before I made them but they really are delicious and so simple to make. Would be fab to ice too.

Delicious, and quick and easy to make -- but if you make these biscuits the size specified, the yield is something much closer to 32 than 12! :)

Added freshly ground cardamom seeds and white chocolate chips; they disappeared very quickly, Going to try orange zest and cranberries next time.

Great recipe! Super simple and yummy biscuits. I swapped the butter for flora dairy free to make it vegan and added 2 tsp of chai spice mix I had made up previously. So good I immediately made another batch to give away. Thank you Doves Farm!

A cookie texture, with a cakey interior. I only had wholemesl rye flour, and couldn't get the dough to bind without a couple of tbsp milk added. It was easy enough to handle afterwards and cut well. The flavour is quite savoury, so needs additional flavours. I added milk choc chips to this, and will try with cheese and herbs in the future
