Anzac Biscuits
2013-04-23- Course: Snack
- Yield : 24 biscuits
- Prep Time : 10m
- Cook Time : 20m
- Ready In : 30m
Our Anzac Biscuits have around half the sugar and butter than typical recipes, but you wouldn’t know it – they’re yum! The perfect mix of chewy and crunchy. We hope you enjoy your Anzac Day.
For Harry, I like to make an apple crumble with the biscuit – I stew one apple, pop it in a ramekin, crumble 1/2 a cookie on top and serve with a little custard. He loves it.

Thank you! was just getting ready to take my little ones to the park as it is warm here (UK) which is a rare thing! Just made your amazing Anzac cookies and they are so delicious! THANKS!

Love this recipe. Used 1/2c brown flour & 1/4c white. Used spelt flakes, 10-grain mix, flaxseed & chia in place of rolled oats. My twins gobbled up 5 bikkies each for morning tea.

Just made these and YUM they are delicious! Could prob even put a little less sugar and they’d still taste fantastic. THANKS!

Love this recipe but I was feeling a little nutty today so I have replaced some of the coconut with 1/4 cup hazelnut meal & a tablespoon each of chopped almonds, chia seeds & linseeds! Also I used whole meal flour, 1/2 brown sugar & 1/2 white …they are so incredibly yummy I don’t think they will last long 🙂 Love all your recipes by the way & the magazine is amazing 🙂

These are so delicious that I made them again this week after trying them last week. I used a little less sugar this time (1/3 cup instead of 1/2 cup) and snuck in 1 cup of spinach chopped super fine (no one even noticed!) because I like to be sneaky like that. Will definitely make these again.

I tried to make these but they didn’t work out, the mixture was way too dry and crumbly to form into biscuits, I don’t know what I did wrong ….
posted by Marie on April 23, 2015
I found the same – added some extra hot water to some of the mixture and ended up with a softer biscuit.

I experienced exactly the same. Had to almost double the fat. They tasted delicious and kids loved them but rally feel that I did something wrong. Would use less sugar next time and hope to use less fat!

Me too, each time I’ve made them I’ve had to add more butter.

Used spelt flour and a third of a cup of coconut sugar and also added a handful of sultanas to the mix. Yum! Whole family loved including 18mo. Will make these again definitely.

Hi I love your magazines you literally are my savour when it comes to cooking for my little one. Sorry to sound daft but what temp is a “slow oven” for these?
Cheers Brooke

Thank you for this recipe! I made it it honour of Anzac day and modified the recipe a little bit.
I added finely grated carrot, sultana, dates & dried apricot for my little girl and she loved it.
Do you know if it’s possible to freeze these biscuits? Thank you!
posted by Jess on April 25, 2015
Hi Rose, your variations sound yummy. And yes, they are great for the freezer. Enjoy, Jx

I love these I make them all throughout the year. My 3yo and husband also agree they are delicious! No need to vary they are great the way they are 🙂

I’m not normally one to comment on a recipe – but these are fantastic. To find delicious dairy free Anzac biscuits is so good! They taste amazing and were so easy. I did have to add a small amount if additional water – but thank you for sharing

These are delicious! I used have the amount of white sugar and they are still really nice. I don’t like things really sweet so I may even put in less next time. Lovely recipe!

The best anzac cookies recipe ! Mine is chewy but crunchy, just perfect. I gradually pour the wet to dry while mixing. I think 1/4 wet ingredient left. I use abit less sugar. They are demolished at once. Thank you !

Is 100g butter 1/2 a cup? Made these the other day and they were perfect, made them today and they didnt turn out aswell wondering if its the butter?
