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.

Man dies trying to cross Channel from France after ‘cardiac arrest on boat' as migrants seen arriving in Dover
Emergency services rushed to the scene BOAT TRAGEDY Man dies trying to cross Channel from France after 'cardiac arrest on boat' as migrants seen arriving in Dover Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAN has died while trying to cross the English Channel to the UK. He suffered a cardiac arrest while on board a boat that was heading for British shores. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 In an unrelated incident, a boat of alleged migrants arrived at Dover earlier today Credit: PA 3 A man has died while on a boat crossing the English Channel Credit: Getty The boat had turned back towards Equihen beach in northern France on Saturday morning. French authorities confirmed that a man was in cardiac arrest when the boat docked on the beach. Emergency services rushed to the scene but were unable to save the man, who sadly died soon after. According to UK Home Office provisional statistics, almost 24,000 people have arrived on small boats in the UK in 2025. An investigation is underway, and will need to determine the circumstances that led to the man's death. Earlier today, an unrelated boat of suspected migrants was seen arriving in Dover. They were seen being brought to shore by an RNLI lifeboat. The institution has saved dozens of migrants that have faced difficulty in the waters. Migrants can then be brought to shore for medical attention. Another man died in April after Kent Police were called to a medical incident. The RNLI launched its all-weather lifeboat to bring the group of migrants safely to Dover.

I found the ultimate 10/10 gas BBQ – it's perfect for unpredictable weather and has space for 14 burgers
Find out which grill scored a perfect 10/10 - and which didn't impress GET GRILLING I found the ultimate 10/10 gas BBQ – it's perfect for unpredictable weather and has space for 14 burgers Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHILST many of us love cooking over fire on a charcoal barbecue, a gas barbecue is a stress-free solution to outdoor grilling. With pretty unpredictable weather in the UK, the ability to turn a knob and be ready to cook al fresco in minutes is definitely a good option. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Consumer reporter Lynsey Hope tries out all the best barbecues for under £150 Credit: Oliver Dixon A gas barbecue also allows you to control the heat and some have useful side burners for warming sauces or searing a steak. Some models can be expensive - but there are some budget friendly gas options available. Lynsey Hope shares her verdict on the best gas barbecues under £150. Uniflame 2 Burner Gas BBQ £68, 6 This one is impressive for the price and is easily big enough to cook 14 burgers Credit: Oliver Dixon For less than £70, this is a very wallet-friendly gas barbecue. It didn't take long to assemble - less than 30 minutes - and it looks stylish with a black control panel and stylish chrome control knobs. The cooking area is easily big enough for 14 burgers and there was plenty of room to cook enough food for about seven people on this. It seemed robust and hard-wearing and lit easily. It cooked burgers evenly without charring them and it comes with a warming rack. For the price, I was really impressed with this. It was easy to wipe clean and it's a relatively compact design so easy to store, too. Performance: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Overall score: 10/10 B&Q Black 2 Burner Gas BBQ £100, 6 This one was a little difficult to assemble but once up it did a decent job Credit: Oliver Dixon Difficult to put together, taking over an hour. The instructions were quite tricky to follow. Once up, it did a pretty decent job. It lit easily and seemed to cook food pretty evenly. It's not huge, but can cook enough food for around six people. It is compact so a great option for smaller gardens and it is resistant to rust if you need to keep it outside. For the price, it's a generous cooking area. No bells and whistles, but a basic model at a fair price that did a decent job. Everything that came off this grill tasted pretty good. Performance: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 8/10 George Foreman Portable 1 Burner Gas BBQ £149, 6 This portable gadget heats up in just five minutes and is a dream to use Credit: Oliver Dixon A single burner gas barbecue that is ideal for camping or trips to the beach. It's easy to assemble though you will need a screwdriver for the lid and you have to screw in the thermometer. The fiddliest bit is putting together the regulator yourself. It's a bit of a faff as you have to lubricate the hose with water onto the regulator and the barbecue and then you use small hose clamps to tighten everything. The instructions were simple and clear, though it took me a while to get it done. Once set up, it's a dream to use. It gets to temperature in just five minutes and the temperature control is smooth. There were a couple of cool spots in the corners but otherwise it provided pretty even coverage, allowing you to cook food evenly no matter where it was on the grill. It's easy to move around and lift on to a table top for use. The cooking was pretty average but it produced good char lines and though everything was delicious some of the others cooked faster than this. Performance: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 7/10 Argos Home 2 Burner with Side Burner Gas BBQ £72, 6 This one didn't impress Lynsey as the structure felt wobbly and the grill size was limited Credit: Oliver Dixon This took ages to put together, around 90 minutes, and the diagrams were unclear. Once up, it looked pretty flimsy and I felt the structure was wobbly. It's not very sturdy and though it's a wallet-friendly price, I don't think it will last long. The manufacturers say it's big enough to feed six to eight people but I thought the grill size was quite limited. I struggled to cook enough food on here for a family of five. There were hot and cold spots too. Only one section of the grill really got hot enough to sear on. The side burner was a great feature and I found it really handy for whipping up side dishes. But there is no higher warming grill, either. There is a storage shelf for keeping ingredients close at hand. The compact size does make it easier to store and the wheels mean you can move it around the garden with ease. Performance: 2/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 5/10 Outback Omega 250 2-Burner Gas BBQ £129.99, 6 This one comes highly recommended as it cooks well and is easy to move around Credit: Oliver Dixon A superb gas barbecue with easy-to-use controls and good cooking ability. It still took a while to put together but it seemed robust and has two wheels, making it easy to move to the perfect spot in your garden. It has a handy foldable side table and I loved the side burner, which was really handy for side dishes or cooking onions. It has a push-button ignition, a grease collection cup and a metal storage shelf at the space. It was light and easy to clean, perfect for both amateur and seasoned outdoor chefs. What I liked most was its ability to lightly cook sirloin steaks to a medium-rare consistency - nothing was overcooked. For the price, I thought it was great value and this comes highly recommended.

Gardening pro's 3 key jobs to do this weekend to stop rose black spot – including £3 bloom boost
BLOOMING LOVELY Gardening pro's 3 key jobs to do this weekend to stop rose black spot – including £3 bloom boost Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WE love a rose in the UK - and traditionally our gardens are stuffed full of beautiful blooms that have been bred for thousands of years. But how frustrating is it when you spot the rose leaves going yellow and starting to fall - or the beautiful buds refuse to open and shrivel up instead? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Rosa laevigata has 'dinner plate-sized' flowers Credit: Alamy 3 Charles Shi is in charge of the Wild Rose garden at Kew Gardens, London Credit: Supplied 3 Black spot is a fungal disease that first appears as black spots on the roses' leaves. Credit: Alamy Black spot is the nemesis of all rose-growers - a fungal disease that first appears as black spots on the roses' leaves. Then the leaf will start to yellow - and fall off - usually spreading further down the plant. And although it doesn't kill the rose - it can weaken it - making it susceptible to other pests and diseases. Spores can overwinter on fallen leaves - and then infects the soil and then the plant next year. Fight against it by making sure that all the fallen leaves are thrown away - not put on the compost. And make sure the rose is pruned to allow enough air to move through the branches. Although proper hard rose pruning is generally done in late winter or early Spring - a light prune now won't be a problem. Also - mulching over winter can help. And make sure you're watering the base rather than from the top of the leaves. Give your rose a dose of proper liquid rose feed - Westland do a decent high performance liquid plant food which helps build resistance to disease. You can get it at Tesco for £8.99. Or Temu is selling Doff Rose and Shrub Feed for £2.89 - which helps maintain healthy roses. Finally - try and choose roses that are resistant to blackspot. Everyone can spot the pot plants - but you have 20-20 vision & high IQ if you can find five red roses in just 19 seconds The general advice with roses is not to plant them in the same soil that a previous rose was in. It can - in extreme cases - cause replant disease - which is where the rose will struggle to grow. You may even find it dies. It's because the roots won't establish properly. But the RHS recommends that you line the planting hole with a cardboard box with a hole in the bottom. By the time the cardboard box has rotted into the soil, the roots will have established. But if you're fed up of black spot, powdery mildew and rose rosette diseases - then have you considered growing a wild rose instead? They might not be quite as extravagant and blingy as the cultivated varieties - but wild roses - known as 'Species Roses' in the catalogues - do a very good job of growing without any human intervention at all. In fact - they're the roses that all our bred roses originated from - and almost thrive on neglect. Charles Shi is in charge of the Wild Rose Garden at Kew - designed originally by Capability Brown in 1900. As part of it's restoration, he and his team travelled as far afield as China and Vietnam to bring back roses that are so new, they haven't been named yet. He told me: 'One of the great things is whilst they flower for a short amount of time - wild roses make up for that by being very resistant to disease. 'Even if they get smothered in aphids they're absolutely fine. 'They're also more hardy. And the early flowers are followed by hips if they're not deadheaded, which feed the birds over Winter. 'It's so important to conserve them - as they could have medicinal compounds that could cure cancer - we're discovering up to 100 compounds every year in our research - which are being used in medical trials. 'They also play a crucial role in ecological conservation by providing food and habitat for pollinators and wildlife.' Some of Charles' favourites include... Rosa Soulieana - which he's nicknamed The Sleeping Beauty Rose - as it's like the one in the book that surrounds the castle. Smells of Cinnamon and up to 4m high. Rosa hirtula - from the Hakone, Japan, at the foothills of Mt Fuji - The only rose with a tree-like habit, with beautiful spiky hips Rosa x odorata 'Mutabilis' A bushy shrub, about 1.8m in height, with purplish young foliage and almost thornless stems Rosa laevigata - has dinner-plate sized flowers.
