Best Anzac Biscuits Cookies Recipes

ANZAC BISCUITS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160C (if using fan-forced oven) or 180°C Line biscuit trays with a quality baking paper or lightly grease with butter.
• Using a large mixing bowl -- combine the oats, coconut, flour and sugars.
• Using a small saucepan or microwave -- melt the butter and golden syrup together. Set aside.
• Using a cup -- mix the boiling water and bicarb soda together. Add this mixture to the melted butter. The mixture will foam up.
• Add the butter to the dry ingredients and combine thoroughly.
• Note -- if the mixture is too crumbly the biscuits will not hold together -- add a small amount of water. I've posted a photo of how I like my mixture to look. You should be able to get a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it together/push into shape of a cookie. Add too much water and your biscuits will flatten out totally during cooking.
• Using your hands. Roll into balls and flatten slightly. These cookies do spread whilst baking -- so I usually place 12 to a cookie sheet/baking tray.
• Place on baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking longer will give a crunchier biscuit or less time a softer biscuit. I like mine to be crisp. Total cooking time will depend on how many cookies/trays can fit in your oven at a time.
• Cool on trays for 5 to 10 minutes before moving to a rack to cool.
• If biscuits are too soft they can be returned to the oven and cooked further.

ANZAC BISCUITS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to moderate 180C. Line cookie tray with baking paper.
• 2. Sift flour and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add oats and coconut; make a well in the centre.
• 3. Combine butter and golden syrup in a small heavy based pot. Stir over low heat until butter has melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Dissolve soda in water; add immediately to butter mixture and stir until foamy (make sure it is really frothy as this is a key step). Add to dry ingredients and stir until well combined. (if you are substituting honey or treacle the colouring and flavour may change slightly but still tastes wonderful)
• 4. Take spoon fulls of the mixture and pop onto the lined cookie sheet. Leave then heaped up as they will flatten out in the oven. For chewy biscuits bake for 25 to 30 mins. For Crunchy biscuits leave in for another 5 or so mins. They need to cook on the tray as they are fragile when first removed from oven. They should be a darkish golden brown and smell wonderful. You can drizzle chocolate over them if you wish
