All the family loved these. Great for a lunch box treat if you make them smaller 👏🏻
I really love these. I've made them a few times with cranberries and dates and another time with sultanas. Yum! I also sub the all spice for mixed spice.
Great to have something that's not a muffin. So good.
Lovely recipe. I used dried mixed fruit and spelt flour. I also cooked mine at 160 fan. So nice with a cup of coffee. Thanks for sharing
Thanks heaps for your rating, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed them, feel free to check out my other recipes too. . Happy Thermi cooking. .
Great recipe and really easy. Thanks for sharing. I doubled the quantity for a class treat. I must say I only used 1 table spoon of mixture per cookie though and they looked about the size you posted in yours. and I got the right number of servies. Thanks again.
I used sultantas instead of dates and cranberries and it was really yummy
Glad you enjoyed with sultanas, that's actually the original recipe I have had for 30 years, I just thought I would adapt it with the dates & cranberries as they can be chopped so easily in the Thermomix. The lemon zest is a new addition too. Happy cooking, feel free to try my other recipes too... Thanks for The comment, can you please add stars too? Cheers..
Thanks so much for the rating, glad you liked them.
I think they would freeze okay, perhaps wrap them individually first so they dont get stuck together and become difficult to separate, then that way they wil be easy to just grab from the freezer ready to go straight into the lunch box.
Your kids might enjoy my beef & veg bolognese recipe, that's if they like slightly chunky veggies in food. I'm afraid my kids ate everything (no choice..hehe) so they liked this recipe.
Thanks again, happy cooking....
Yummo!! I added the lemon zest and it really enhanced the flavour! Just wondering if these would go ok being frozen? I'm thinking of making a few batches for school lunches
YAY!!... So glad you loved them, thanks heaps for the rating and feel free to try my other recipes. If you liked that one I reckon you'll lik the shortbread recipe.. Enjoy..
