Just made these and they’ve gone down a treat. I was cautious at first with everyone saying about them being dry but they were fine, to be honest I don’t think it’s supposed to be moist mixture, biscuits aren’t generally. The mixture was a bit bitty but you just press it together with your hands and it soon forms.
I rolled them into balls then pressed them straight onto the baking tray. Next time I’ll flatten them down a bit more as I made them a bit thicker than your usual hobnob.
Also, one of the comments about putting a cube of chocolate on each biscuit as soon as they come out of the oven.. brilliant idea!

I do enjoy your recipes Jane, thank you x

In reply to kathryn. I find maple syrup less sticky so that may be why - but also you just need to use warmth of the hand to bring it together or beat for longer!

In reply to Sue Russell. The dough may just need a little kneading to bring it together without swapping the flours, but glad it worked out with a mix.

First time I made these the mixture was to dry, just made them again using 50/50 wholemeal flour and plain flour they have come out perfectly.

I had to use maple syrup because I didn’t have any golden. Mixture seemed a little dry a they’re in the oven fingers crossed

In reply to Julia Baxter. You just need to use the warm of a hand or a spatula to bring them together. You want to avoid adding any extra liquid as it will prevent the cookies baking as you want to make a hobnob

Made this twice now and the mixture is too dry to come together – the birds enjoyed them though!

Made these twice already, doubled up on the second batch since they were so well liked
Added a square of chocolate to them when out the oven, so it melted with the heat and spread easily
Do you think they could be done in a tray bake version to make hobnob bars? What would the bake time be? Just the same?
Thanks
