Really dry, but neither crunchy nor chewy like a cookie should be. I think probably due to the SR flour rather than plain flour with bicarb like most cookie recipes? Either way it seemed a giant waste of lovely ingredients unfortunately.

Very tasty and easy! Following the recipe gave me almost twice as many biscuits as indicated and the amount of lemon myrtle suggested was almost a whole container so only put in a tablespoon and a bit :)
