Anzac biscuits with macadamia nuts offer a delightful twist on a classic recipe. These biscuits are perfect for anyone who loves a crunchy, sweet treat with the added richness of macadamia nuts. Ideal for a snack or a dessert, these biscuits are sure to become a favorite.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Chop Macadamia Nuts: Coarsely chop the macadamia nuts and set them aside.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, ground ginger, rolled oats, granulated sugar, chopped macadamia nuts, and dried coconut meat. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

4. Melt Butter and Maple Syrup: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and add the maple syrup. Stir well to combine.

5. Mix Baking Soda and Water: In a small bowl or cup, dissolve the baking soda in a tablespoon of hot water. Add this mixture to the melted butter and maple syrup. Stir to combine.

6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and you have a cohesive dough.

7. Shape the Biscuits: Using your hands or a spoon, take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls (about the size of a walnut). Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one to allow for spreading. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown.

9. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Once completely cooled, your Anzac biscuits with macadamia nuts are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Tips:

- Consider toasting the macadamia nuts before adding them to the dough. This will enhance their flavor and provide a deeper, richer taste.

- Allow the biscuits to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to firm up as they cool, ensuring the perfect texture.

- Store your Anzac biscuits in an airtight container to keep them crisp. They can last up to two weeks when stored properly.

- Make sure to space the dough balls evenly on the baking sheet as they will spread during baking.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative for a vegan version of the biscuits.

Enjoy your delicious Anzac biscuits with macadamia nuts! These crunchy, nutty treats are not only a nod to tradition but also a delightful modern twist, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
