A few questions
Asked on 10 Mar 2018 by Deirdremcfadden
Dear Lindsey, I have a few questions if u don't mind. 1. I made the oat and raisin cookies and whereas they tasted lovely, the mixture was very crumbly and difficult to work with. Second time I added an extra egg, but mixture quite moist and again difficult to work with
The apricot and oat cookies again tasted lovely but impossible to cut into squares when cool. The mixture was very dry and crumbly. Had to eat with a spoon
Finally, I have been making the key lime pie for years. A big favourite but I cannot get grape nuts anywhere ? Also does it freeze well
Many thanks

Have you seen...
Hello Deirdre,
A month ago someone said they found the mixture for these cookies to be dry, so as you’ve had problems as well I’ll make them again to check the recipe.
For the Apricot Oat Slices, I’ve made these many times and you’ve probably seen that we have had similar feedback before.
It definitely helps if you press the mixture down firmly and use soft (squidgy) ready to eat apricots.
When it’s been hot, I’ve found leaving the cooked mixture to cool in the tin, then cutting it, but chilling the tray before moving the squares helped them stay together, but we also find that the crumbly edges are part of the charm.
Key Lime pie can be frozen for up to two months. Open freeze first then and wrap it really well.
Best wishes
Lindsey
Hello Deirdre,
I have checked the Oat and Raisin cookie recipe and here is the link to my answer.
