Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, dried coconut meat, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the 1/3 cup (72g) of maple syrup and stir until combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Dissolve the baking soda in the 2 tablespoons (30g) of maple syrup, then carefully add this mixture to the melted butter and maple syrup mixture. It will bubble up, so stir gently to incorporate.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined and you have a sticky dough.
Fold in the chopped dates until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking tray and press down lightly to flatten. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the biscuits about 2 inches (5 cm) apart to allow for spreading.
Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove the trays from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the trays for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the biscuits to wire racks to cool completely.
Once cooled, the biscuits are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Make sure to chop the dates finely so they distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- For a slightly toasted flavor, you can lightly toast the oats and coconut in the oven before adding them to the mix.
- Let the butter come to room temperature before you start to ensure it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients.
- If you prefer a less sweet biscuit, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar by 1/4 cup without drastically altering the texture.
- Keep an eye on the biscuits while they bake; they'll be ready when they turn a light golden color.
With these Sticky Date Anzac Biscuits, you have a wonderful blend of traditional flavors with a modern twist. Simple to prepare yet immensely satisfying, they make an excellent addition to your baking repertoire. Enjoy these biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee, and don't forget to share them with friends and family!
