Anzac Biscuits (Australian Coconut-Oat Cookies)

I made these to bring to a graduation party for my friends son who was moving to Australia with his Aussie girlfriend . I had never met her and wanted to make something thematic. I had never heard of these cookie/biscuits. After reading the reviews I was determined to make these as authentically as possible -- a big part of that seemed to be using the "golden syrup". Unfortunately, I was limited with time and the store I had a moment to get to didn't have it. So I went with what a Google search told me was a same/same sub of honey. I also read the cooking time reviews here and settled on 10 minutes. These Hail Mary choices paid off and passed the taste test of not only the Aussie, but a Kiwi too! Highly recommend. Thank you for all the helpful reviews!

Very delicious! If you like coconut and oats, this is a keeper. Very easy cookie to make. I did cut down on the sugar to 1/2 cup, made the golden syrup which turned out to be very thick; I boiled it too long. I had to heat the spoon to scoop some out. LOL! After that it was easy. I added 1 Tbsp of hot water because it was too crumbly and dry, used OF oats instead of the quick ones. My bake time was 11-14 minutes.

First time baking this. I followed the recipe exactly. Made my own golden syrup. Cookies (biscuits) are light and crunchy. I see others didn't cook the full time and cookies are chewy. May try that. There's a version on the site for these cookies with ginger. Sound perfect - I'll try those next.

I made a double batch of these biscuits yesterday. The temperature was too hot and cooking time too long per recipe, I think. I checked on them & took them out after 15 mins. as they were burnt. For cooking the 2nd batch, I reduced temp to 325°F and checked on them after 10 mins., added 2 more, then turned off oven, as edges were getting too brown, and let sit in oven for another 2 mins. I thought 2 cups of sugar too much, even for the double batch, so reduced it to 1.5 cups (3/4 C for this recipe). Second batch much better. My Mum used to make these years ago in Ireland, so my making them yesterday brought back some lovely memories of my Mum. They are very good, and crispy. We are eating the burnt ones!!

I followed the recipe exactly. Based on other reviews and dryness of the batter I flattened the spoonfuls of dough into cookie shapes and they did not flatten further while cooking. Also- in my oven at 350 they were done in 10-12 minutes. They are awesome- just what I was craving!

These are great. I made them with gluten free all purpose flour and only bake them for 6 mins in a convection oven.

Absolutely delicious!! It was so simple and easy to make! Though if you follow the instructions 100% you get burnt cookies. Make sure that you don’t have them in the oven for more than 10 minutes, and even then it’s still very crunchy. I would suggest 7 minutes for more of a chewy biscuit.

it is an easy cookie and great crispy outside and chewy inside texture, i didn't have golden syrup so i used honey and it turned out awesome, definitely a keeper. next time i will reduce butter a little bit. also you may want to double or even triple the recipe becuase one bach is not enough and it will be gone by the day.
