Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix the marmalade with 2 tbsp boiling water. Stir into the creamed mix, then add the spices, oats, flour and baking powder. Mix in the fruit and nuts.

  • step 2

    Dust your hands and surface with flour and roll the dough into a long sausage shape. Cut into about 20 discs. Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, spaced out as they will spread. Bake for about 25 mins until golden brown.

Just made these, not a fan of dried fruit so just added chopped macadamia and almonds instead....slightly increased the amount of marmalade as it wasn't a strong brand. Split the mixture in two, put them in the fridge for an hour. Made one lot, 30 mins rather than 25. They are soooo moorish I can…

These are my favourites, I've made them countless times and still cannot get enough :) I use dried cranberries and candied ginger as my dried fruit and often omit nuts, because the cookies are perfect already!

Help! I've lost my recipe for Smartie Cookies from BBCGoodFood 2008 (ish). They are my grandson's favourite, I can't find it on the website. I've made them so often I ought to remember the quantities, but I'm not that bright! Hoping someone can track it down for me.

Thanks, Sue
