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.

275g plain flour

The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven

Travellers call for removal of growing Edinburgh illegal travellers site after nearly two years in Granton
Residents who say their lives have been made 'hell' by a group of travellers in Edinburgh have launched a petition calling for them to be moved on.

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Travellers first pitched up on the derelict site between Waterfront Avenue and West Granton Road, on the land behind the Lidl supermarket and B&M store, back in 2019. There are now dozens of campervans and caravans at the site in north Edinburgh. Smoke hangs over the Granton site, after a fire on Wednesday, July 23. | Submitted Locals living in the area said that the initial group were no trouble, with problems only arising when a larger group arrived on the site more than a year and a half ago. This group was joined recently by more travellers, who are believed to be those who were moved on from nearby Forthquarter Park last month, after locals there launched an online petition. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Angry locals in Granton have now also launched a petition calling for the travellers to be moved from Waterfront Avenue. Launched yesterday, Wednesday, July 23, the petition has so far had 52 signatures. The petition founder said: 'This issue has persisted for years, and it's time we take a stand for our community's safety and wellbeing.' Adding: 'The challenges we face on a daily basis are numerous and exhausting. Children on quad bikes dangerously racing along pedestrian paths, fires causing potential hazards, and aggressive dogs creating perilous situations are just the tip of the iceberg. 'The constant noise and even instances of abuse have cast a shadow over our once peaceful life. Additionally, fly-tipping has become rampant, tarnishing our environment and adding to the distress of residents.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Travellers at the west side of the site in Granton. | National World Local residents, who asked not to be named, told the Evening News more about what life is like living next to the growing group of travellers, with regular fires reportedly set at the site in recent weeks. One said: 'What a mess they have left around the place, particularly at the back of B&M. There was a large fire yesterday with smoke everywhere. And the kids are up and down on their quad bikes all day every day. 'The whole block is frustrated. It's a living hell. The police came here yesterday to say nothing could be done until someone gets hurt.' The large area currently occupied by the travellers in Granton has been earmarked for a state-of-the-art home for Scotland's national collection of 130,000 artworks, The Art Works, as part of the wider Granton Waterfront development.

It's the Scottish Government that owns that land. 'Some of the travellers have been there since 2019, with more arriving in the years after. The group causing most of the problems came here about a year and a half ago. It's been hell since they arrived. 'It's mostly kids out on quad bikes every day, they are too young to be on those bikes, yet they are out all day and sometimes at night, causing a real racket.'

I really just want them to go now. They have even got a cockerel and you hear it every morning. And the mess they have left around here is just awful.' Another group of travellers on the west side of the derelict land off Waterfront Avenue in Granton, Edinburgh. | National World And another Waterfront Avenue resident added: 'I would rather they weren't there. They have been setting bonfires which release toxic gases. I'm pretty sure if I did that the council and police would get involved. But they seem to have a law for themselves. 'I had an instance of young children aged between just six and eight carrying bolt cutters as big as them, trying to steal a neighbour's bike. I hope the National Galleries development planned for the site goes ahead sooner rather than later. Hopefully those plans start to move forward.

The Scottish Government has been contacted for comment. The City of Edinburgh Council declined the opportunity to comment on this story. Speaking about officers reporting to the scene yesterday, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Around 10.30am on Wednesday, July, 23, officers received a report of concerns around off-road bikes in the Waterfront Avenue area of Edinburgh. 'Enquiries into the matter are ongoing and officers are engaging with local partners regarding the concerns.'

Full list of DWP benefit errors that can lead to refunds worth £1,000s – including PIP and state pension
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOUSEHOLDS should stay alert to benefit errors that could result in refunds worth thousands of pounds. If the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) underpays you, you may be entitled to claim back the money you are owed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 We share what benefit errors could lead you tor receive money back Credit: EPA On the other hand, if you are overpaid on a benefit, you will be required to repay the money, and failing to do so could lead to legal action. This applies even if you were unaware of the overpayment and have already spent the funds. However, claimants may be eligible for back payments on several benefits, including the state pension and personal independence payments (PIP). Below, we outline who has been affected and how this might apply to you. State pension error If you took time away from paid work to look after a child or someone with an illness, you could be owed money back. The issue mainly impacts those carrying out caring duties between 1978 and 2010. During this time, the government had a system in place to ensure people would still be paid the state pension if they took time out for these reasons. This system was called Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) and it should have been automatically awarded to those claiming Child Benefit. But an error in the system found that hundreds of thousands of people were left with gaps in their National Insurance records that should not be there. Those impacted have been underpaid on their state pension or could be in the future. But the government has said that all issues related to the error should be resolved by March 2027. Disability benefit explained - what you can claim How to claim You might have received a letter if you are thought to be affected. People can check their eligibility for backdated HRP and make a claim via HMRC said the process takes around 15 minutes. According to MoneySavingExpert, the average amount being paid out is more than £7,000. What are state pension errors? STEVE Webb, partner at LCP and former Pensions Minister, explains what state pension errors are and how they can occur: The way state pensions are worked out is so complicated that many thousands of people have been paid the wrong amount for years without even realising it. The amount of retirement pension you get usually depends on your National Insurance (NI) record. One big source of errors has been cases where NI records have been incorrect, particularly for years spent at home with children. This is a system known as 'Home Responsibilities Protection'. Alternatively, particularly for older pensioners, the amount you get can depend on the NI contributions made by your spouse. Errors have arisen where the Government has failed to adjust the pensions of married women when their husbands retired or failed to increase pensions when someone was bereaved and lost a husband or wife. Although the Government has spent years trying to fix these problems, there are still many thousands of people – many of them older women – on the wrong pension. If you have always thought that your pension seems low, then it is worth contacting the Pensions Service to ask them to check, especially if you spent time at home raising children or if you were widowed and your pension didn't change when your spouse died PIP Benefit claimants could be owed cash from the government after a PIP payment error. A review was launched following a Supreme Court judgment in July 2019 that changed the way the DWP defines 'social support' in one of the assessed PIP categories. Dubbed the "MM judgement", the DWP realised that hundreds of thousands could now be due additional support. It means that people may not have been given one of the two elements of PIP when they were actually entitled to it. Others may have been awarded the standard rate but should have received the enhanced rate, which is a higher amount. It occurred after some people were given one of the two elements of PIP when they were actually entitled to it. The DWP launched a review in 2021, looking at cases since 2016. How to claim An estimated 633,338 households are thought to be have been affected by the error. The average payout works out at around £5,285 per claim, but you could get more or less. One couple told The Sun they were left shell-shocked" after learning that they were due £12,000 in back payments. The DWP tends to get in contact directly with claimants thought to be impacted. New PIP error The DWP has flagged two more errors relating to the benefits claim. That includes PIP claimants without a National Insurance number not having their claims processed correctly, even though it is not needed to make a claim. Up to £500,000 has been paid out to those impacted. Elsewhere, The DWP has also paid out £13million to Scottish PIP claimants who mistakenly saw a "loss of entitlement" when they tried moving over to the Adult Disability Payment (ADP).
