Anzac Biscuits

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   4 min

   Set your oven to 180°C (or 160°C for fan ovens, gas mark 4) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking. While the oven heats, grab a mixing bowl and combine porridge oats, desiccated coconut, plain flour, and caster sugar thoroughly for an even mixture.

2. 2

   Melt Butter and Syrup

   4 min

   In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until completely liquid. Stir in the golden syrup until well combined. In another small bowl, dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in 2 tablespoons of boiling water, then add this mixture to the melted butter and syrup, stirring to blend.

3. 3

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   4 min

   Make a well in the center of your dry ingredient mixture and carefully pour in the melted butter and syrup mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.

4. 4

   Shape and Bake Cookies

   20 min

   Using a dessert spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto greased baking sheets, leaving about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of space between each dollop to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Once baked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
