Classic ANZAC Biscuits Recipe – Crispy, Chewy & Easy to Make Bake a batch of authentic ANZAC biscuits with this easy, traditional recipe. Crispy on the outside, chewy in the center, and rich in Australian history—perfect for tea time or snacks! What Are ANZAC Biscuits? ANZAC biscuits are iconic Australian cookies made with oats, coconut, and golden syrup. Originally sent to soldiers in WWI by wives and families, these treats were designed to last the long journey overseas—without eggs, but full of flavor and heart. Ingredients (Makes 20–24 Biscuits) 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup plain flour (all-purpose flour) 1 cup desiccated coconut 3/4 cup brown sugar (or white sugar) 125g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter 2 tbsp golden syrup (or substitute with honey/maple syrup) 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp boiling water Instructions 1. Preheat & Prep Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper. 2. Mix Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, coconut, and sugar. 3. Make Syrup Mixture In a small saucepan, melt butter and golden syrup over low heat. 4. Add Baking Soda Mix baking soda with boiling water, then stir into the butter-syrup mixture (it will foam slightly). 5. Combine Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir well to form a sticky dough. 6. Shape & Bake Roll heaped teaspoons into balls, place on trays (leave room to spread), and flatten slightly. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden. For crispier biscuits, bake longer; for chewier, bake slightly less. 7. Cool & Store Let cool on tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Tips for Perfect ANZAC Biscuits Use golden syrup for the most authentic flavor. For vegan biscuits, just use plant-based butter. Want them extra crispy? Bake 2–3 minutes longer and flatten them more. FAQs Q: Can I freeze ANZAC biscuit dough? Yes—freeze shaped dough balls and bake straight from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to baking time. Q: What’s the meaning behind the name? “ANZAC” stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The biscuits honor soldiers and are traditionally made around ANZAC Day (April 25). Serving Ideas Serve with tea or coffee. Crumble over ice cream or yogurt for a sweet topping. Pack in lunchboxes or take on hikes—they travel well! Final Thoughts This ANZAC biscuit recipe combines simplicity, history, and delicious flavor. Whether chewy or crunchy, they’re a nostalgic treat worth sharing all year round.
