Exciting news! I'm sharing my recipe for homemade rock buns, also known as rock cakes. These tasty, crumbly treats date back to World War II, when they were created to use fewer eggs and sugar. Perfect with a cup of tea

Oh my! These really would be perfect for a cookie exchange at Christmas time with the spices and dried fruit! I know they are technically not cookies, but we do make some cake like baked items here, but still call them a cookie, haha. They seem great for dipping in coffee as well. ❤😋
The cookie exchange is a fantastic idea Laura lovely to get a variety of cookies :)
I could just eat one right now 😋
I would love one too they didn't last long here x I gave some to my neighbours for looking after my cats when we were away x
Another "amazing" (indeed) treat from Scrummy TV!!! Didn't waste any time to make these 😅 added some lemon zest. They are 'Scrummy ' .
