    Can you cook the dough from frozen or do you have to defrost?

    Hi Amanda, good news you can bake from frozen! Might take another minute or two so keep your eye on them! Happy baking!

    Ive just baked these and they look delicious. Do they freeze well?

    Carnation says:
    Hi June, we like to freeze the unbaked dough balls and then bake to order. Alternatively, you could bake and then freeze if you prefer!

    I have tried This, the taste is good but too sweet and not chewy as I expected.

    Hi Kala, you could try baking them for slightly less time or add an extra 2tbsp condensed milk if you like them stickier! It's the sugar and condensed milk that make them sweet and chewy!

    These look delicious. Can you freeze the dough after step 2?

    Carnation says:
    Hi Alison, yes you can - if you find it easier - roll into balls and then freeze, then you can bake to order!

    I omitted the cinnamon and raisins and added 75g desicated coconut and about 10 finely chopped glace cherries instead. Very nice!
