Baker Ann Cooper has revealed her recipe for M&S Chunked N' Loaded cookie dupes
Credit: SUPPLIED
She created three affordable, bakery-style cookie recipes for QRFY, in Raspberry Cheesecake, Pistachio, and Chocolate & Hazelnut, that can be made at home for as little as 52p per cookie.
She says: 'In order to successfully make this type of stuffed cookie, the filling needs to be frozen and then added to the cookie mix just before going into the oven.
'This process maintains the stability of the centre and stops it from melting into the cookie dough. Obviously, people could just add it to the dough, but it won't maintain a soft centre after cooking.'
She adds that making them yourself can make them taste all the better.
Ann adds: "Many people like to enjoy a sweet treat now and again and baking your own cookies can provide a sense of satisfaction and achievement."
Scroll down for the recipes, the method is the same for all three cookies and can be found after the ingredients.

Air India crash victim's family furious after someone else's remains were also sent home in casket

Her son Miten, 40, said: 'I have no idea if the other remains were from more than one person.' One family was sent the wrong body entirely. India's Ministry of External Affairs said: 'All remains were handled with professionalism.' READ MORE ON AIR INDIA CRASH 'BODY MIX-UP' Brit Air India families 'sent the WRONG bodies' after crash killed 260 Lawyer James Healy-Pratt, representing around 20 families, said: 'They have been left in limbo. 'They have no-one to bury because the wrong body was in the casket.' It is thought that only Indian authorities carried out DNA tests on victims with no input from any international agency. Mr Healy-Prat added: 'I am hearing that it was Indian authorities alone who identified remains and then placed them in caskets. 'The families want assurances that their loved ones have not been left behind somewhere in India because they don't have confidence in the system. 'They have had the terrible shock of losing a loved one and then they go through more trauma when they learn it is not only their loved one in the casket, or it may not be their loved one at all.'

Ancient English town ranked among ‘worst places to live' unveils £33m revamp as it demolishes ‘dilapidated' station

The development is set to open this summer FIRST GLIMPSE Ancient English town ranked among 'worst places to live' unveils £33m revamp as it demolishes 'dilapidated' station Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A £33 MILLION revamp of an historic town is set to be unveiled next month. The revamp has transformed the town's transport networks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The £33 million development would improve bus routes on Fleming Way, Swindon Credit: Swindon Borough Council 3 The road is set to re-open in August, with bus routes starting on August 31 Credit: Swindon Borough Council 3 Proposals included planting trees and bushes to increase biodiversity in the area Credit: Swindon Borough Council It comes after the town was previously named among the worst places to live after it was branded a "gang capital". Development reveal The investment has transformed Fleming Way in Swindon as it is turned into a new bus boulevard. After three years of work, the fencing is set to come down from August 15. Once the new transport hub is up and running, the existing bus station is set to be demolished. Local bus companies will begin their services from Fleming Way from August 31. As well as the new transport hub, the revamp brings a number of improvements to the area. This includes new benches, bike racks and waste bins, in addition to more than 185 trees and 23,000 plants and bushes. Planning proposals A Swindon Borough Council spokesperson said that there would also be new bus shelters to improve wheelchair accessibility. The new shelters will also include wireless charging, digital screens that display up-to-date departure times, and solar panels. A total of 27 new bus stops were planned in the proposal. Our pretty town has become a ghetto plagued by machete-wielding yobs They said: "The new road will also create a better space for bus services around Swindon and the surrounding areas, as well as allow for national and inner-city routes. "New cycle lanes have also been added, connecting the town's two main cycle routes so cyclists can travel through Swindon or to the town centre." In previous planning proposals for the development, the council said it hoped to "help the town centre transition from a past dominated by retail, to a future destination where people live, work, socialise and study." It would make Fleming Way the "main gateway" for the town centre. The development focused primarily on transport in the area, improving connectivity to the train station and creating a safer route throughout the town centre. Improvements to the wider area In addition to the improvements to transportation, the council estimated that it would increase surrounding land value by £34 million. This in turn would bring more investors into the area, bringing new homes, offices, shops and leisure facilities for locals. Funding for the project came in part from the Government, who supplied £25 million. It was based on a proposal that demonstrated that the improvements would increase Swindon's economic productivity by £28.7 million over the first 20 yearws. The space freed up by the demolition of the bus station from the 1960s will be incorporated into the regeneration of a 20-acre site next to Zurich's office building. Proposals also included the removal of the Fleming Way subway to make the road the same level as the town centre shopping area and the parade. Traffic lights have been installed to increase pedestrian safety.

Killer whales strike AGAIN off Spain as bloodthirsty ‘White Gladis' pod smashes yacht sparking frantic rescue mission

Brit sailors have also been warned that they could face killer waters in UK waters WHALE FRIGHT Killer whales strike AGAIN off Spain as bloodthirsty 'White Gladis' pod smashes yacht sparking frantic rescue mission Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PACK of killer whales have struck again in the Atlantic after nearly capsizing a yacht and leaving a helpless crew fearing for their lives. The terrifying encounter, said to be linked to the bloodthirsty White Gladis pod, took place two miles north of the Spanish town of Deba. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 A pack of killer whales nearly capsized a yacht off Spain after attacking the rudder Credit: Rita Sobot 4 The crew were stranded at sea after their boat was struck by at least two orcas Credit: Rita Sobot 4 A frantic rescue mission was quickly launched by Maritime Rescue for the two men on board Credit: Rita Sobot Shocked witnesses first reported the dangerous scenes after several orcas surrounded the 30ft boat which was stranded out at sea. At least two of the beasts then attacked and left the ship severely damaging with the rudder shredded. A frantic rescue mission was quickly launched by Maritime Rescue for the two men on board. Miraculously the boat stayed intact and above water for long enough for the pair to be saved and towed back to port. The entire mission took a staggering three hours to complete from the moment the men first raised the alarm. Posting a picture on the social networks, the relieved duo said: "NOTICE TO SAILORS!! Yesterday afternoon at the height of Deba, the group of ORCAS that sail through our waters, attacked this sailboat. "Maritime Rescue of Getaria had to come to the rescue." The boat was French registered and both occupants are thought to be from France. One was aged 60. This type of situation involving orcas has already occurred on other occasions in waters of southern Spain and in Galicia. I joined Orca team searching for White Gladis & trying to solve mystery of why her pod are sinking yachts off Gibraltar Killer whales have previously sunk one boat in the Straits of Gibraltar and caused damage to numerous others off the coast of Spain. Orcas even disrupted a sailing race last year, when a boat travelling from the Netherlands to Italy had a 15-minute encounter with the animals. This prompted the crew to drop their craft's sails and raise a clatter to fend them off. The latest attacks have prompted warnings for Brit sailors. Professor Volker Deecke, an academic at University of Cumbria in the conservation of marine mammals and behavioural aspects of conservation biology, told the Daily Telegraph: "UK sailors transiting the hotspots should definitely familiarise themselves with the guidance. "The same guidance applies for sailors encountering any killer whales in Cornish waters." Earlier this month, wildlife experts confirmed they had spotted Iberian orcas in Cornish waters for the first time. And in July of last year, a Brit yachtsman posted video footage of his boat sinking after it was attacked by orcas. Robert Powell and two others on the Bonhomme William had to be rescued by coastguards after their vessel capsized in the Strait of Gibraltar. Last year, Brit couple Janet Morris, 58, and Stephen Bidwell, 58, from Cambridge, were involved in a whale attack that lasted for an hour. The orcas off the Iberian coast often average between 16ft to 21ft in length. They are considerably smaller than orcas in Antarctica who can reach over 29ft. The attacks tend to happen between May and August but researchers don't believe they are often aggressively commited. Instead, some orcas may disrupt boats out of sheer boredom. Other experts fear that one main culprit may be teaching other orcas how to strike. A majestic beast, named White Gladis, has been terrorising sailors around the coast of Gibraltar over the past four years. Alfredo López Fernandez, a biologist at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, and member of the Atlantic Orca working group believes a 'critical moment of agony' made White Gladis aggressive towards boats. Why do orcas attack boats? WHILE researchers are unsure exactly why killer whales have been attacking boats so often lately, many theories have been put forward. Some experts suggest it could be a playful manifestation of the animals' curiosity. But others fear a "critical moment of agony" such as a collision may have sparked aggression towards boats. Alfredo López Fernandez, a biologist at the University of Aveiro in Portugal, told LiveScience: "That traumatized orca is the one that started this behaviour of physical contact with the boat." Some even speculate White Gladis may now be spurring fellow killer whales on. Orcas are the largest members of the oceanic dolphin family. Although they never attack humans, the apex predators can take down large groups of whales, hence the name killer. What makes them a unique marine mammal is that they often hunt in lethal pods and family groups of up to 40 individuals - and feast on fish, dolphins, seal lions, seals, sharks and stingrays. The carnivores can grow up to 32ft long and weigh up to six tons - and are immediately recognizable by their distinctive black-and-white colouring.
