Chewy anzac biscuits

Anzac biscuits are a classic treat originating from Australia and New Zealand. These chewy delights were traditionally made and sent to soldiers during World War I due to their long shelf life. This recipe offers a modern twist with a chewy texture that will win over any cookie lover.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 cup oats
90g
1 cup dried coconut meat
150g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tbsp water
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure the biscuits don't stick.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of oats, 1 cup of dried coconut, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
3. Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter. Once the butter has melted completely, remove the saucepan from heat.
4. Prepare the Wet Mixture:
- Stir 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the melted butter until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 tablespoon of water. Once dissolved, add this mixture to the melted butter and maple syrup combination. The mixture may froth slightly—this is normal and aids in the texture of the biscuits.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until all the components are well incorporated and you have a uniform dough.
6. Shape the Biscuits:
- Scoop small portions of the dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place these dough balls onto the prepared baking tray, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown. The center may still look slightly soft—this is what gives the biscuits their chewy texture.
8. Cool:
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them firm up while retaining their chewy consistency.

Tips:

- For an extra chewy texture, avoid over-baking the biscuits. They should be just golden brown when you take them out of the oven.

- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up without becoming too hard.

- If you prefer a slightly nutty flavor, you can toast the oats and coconut lightly before adding them to the mixture.

- Feel free to add a handful of dried fruits like raisins or apricots for added texture and taste.

- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their chewiness for up to a week.

There you have it – a delicious batch of chewy Anzac biscuits. Perfect for sharing with friends and family or as a delightful treat with your afternoon tea. Enjoy the rich flavors and satisfyingly chewy texture of these classic cookies!
