Loved these crunchy cookies. So easy to make and quick too. I added cinnamon and only used 75 grams of brown sugar. It gave a nice colour. I added cranberry’s to some of them and walnuts. Will definitely make again.

Me and my family love this little recipe ? I use 75g coconut sugar and put 30g chocolate chip and 40g crushed cashew nuts in the dough. Gorgeous

Delicious, nice and crunchy, very tasty - just some of the comments received on baking these biscuits. I made them slightly smaller so got 16 rather than 12 from the quantities given and baked them at a lower temperature for 15 minutes. Such a simple, quick recipe and after a week, they were still as crunchy as the day they were made. Willl definitely be making again and intend to alter the recipe slightly to make gingernuts.

These are delicious, I just used 75g of light brown sugar as other people recommended & will just add chopped pecans into the mix for a more even spread.

I made a couple of alterations to the recipe, using coconut sugar and walnuts (rather than caster sugar and pecans) and they were delicious, nice and crunchy. Will make again.

The best biscuits I have made. Made a few changes...added the following to the mix (I did not have any pecans, hence adapting the recipe): Toasted and roughly chopped (removed skin after toasting) 20 hazelnuts, also added a tablespoon of cocoa nibs, and the smallest of pinches of sweet cinnamon. Also, I purposely made eight large biscuits, rather than 12. They took a little longer to back, but easier to fit onto my baking try. Trust me, very very tasty (but I love hazelnuts). First time baking with spelt flour. Extremely tasty. I am going to try a spelt pasta recipe now!

These are delicious, very similar in taste to digestive biscuits. I found them a little dry so next time I bake them I will coat them in dark chocolate instead of pecans. Homemade plain chocolate digestives!

these cookies are so easy and so tasty but you must not leave for more than 10 minutes without checking. They burn easy.

WOW! These cookies are absolutely scrumdidiumptious :) I used Wholemeal Spelt flour, raw sugar and walnuts. The recipe is so easy and prep time is minimal. I couldn't stop eating them and am about to make another batch:)

These are absolutely delicious! Never made cookies before and these turned out great, like shortbread and very buttery. I used walnuts instead of pecans and they were yummy!
