Chewy anzac biscuits

Chewy Anzac biscuits are a delightful treat that have their origins in Australia and New Zealand. Known for their chewy texture and rich, buttery flavor, these biscuits are a perfect accompaniment to your tea or coffee. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or simply looking to enjoy a tasty snack, this recipe will guide you through the process of creating these beloved biscuits.

Ingredients:

1 cup oats
90g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1/3 cup dried coconut meat
50g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g
1 tsp baking soda
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/3 cup dried coconut meat.
- Stir the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
3. Melt and Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup butter.
- Once the butter is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until well combined.
4. Baking Soda Solution:
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons of hot water.
- Pour the dissolved baking soda mixture into the saucepan with the melted butter and maple syrup. Stir to combine.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the butter mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix everything together until a sticky dough forms.
6. Shape and Bake:
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Place each portion about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each ball of dough with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them spread evenly.
7. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.

8. Cool:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. This helps them firm up a bit.
- Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, your Chewy Anzac Biscuits are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips:

- To prevent the biscuits from spreading too much during baking, make sure to chill the dough for at least 15 minutes before scooping it onto the baking sheet.

- For an extra bit of flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to the dough.

- If you prefer a crispier texture, simply bake the biscuits for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.

- You can use rolled oats for a heartier texture or quick oats for a finer consistency, depending on your preference.

- For a non-dairy version, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a non-dairy butter alternative.

In just a few simple steps, you’ve created delicious chewy Anzac biscuits that are sure to be a hit with everyone. Their unique combination of oats, coconut, and buttery sweetness makes them an irresistible treat. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven, or store them in an airtight container to maintain their delightful chewiness for days.
