Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, ground ginger, dried coconut meat, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Stir until the ingredients are well distributed.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup and honey, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 2 tablespoons of boiling water. Add the dissolved baking soda mixture to the melted butter mixture, stirring well. This will cause the mixture to foam slightly.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Add the macadamia nuts and finely grated ginger root to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, take portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork or your hand to form a disc shape.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Macadamia and Ginger Anzac Biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- For a more intense ginger flavor, consider adding extra grated ginger root or crystallized ginger.
- Ensure the butter is fully melted before mixing it with the other wet ingredients to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Toast the macadamia nuts lightly before adding them to the mixture for an additional depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a chewier texture, reduce the baking time slightly and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet.
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crunch.
Congratulations on making these delightful Macadamia and Ginger ANZAC Biscuits! With their perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and crunch, they are sure to become a staple in your baking repertoire. Share them with loved ones or enjoy them with a warm cup of tea or coffee. Happy baking!
