Anzac Biscuits with Almonds and Raisins

I like my Anzac cookies with raisins and slivered almonds in them, but if you want them plain just leave these out. Read my blog about Anzac Biscuits here.

Prep time:: 10 mins
Cook time:: 15-18 mins
Makes:: About 30 small or 16 large

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 cup soft brown sugar
1 cup thread or desiccated coconut
½ cup slivered almonds (optional)
½ cup raisins (optional)
2 tbsp golden syrup
125g butter
2 tbsp water
½ tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 160°C and line at least 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, coconut and almonds and raisins, if using, in a large bowl. Heat together golden syrup, butter and water until butter melts. Add soda, then mix into dry ingredients until well combined.

Roll mixture into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball and place on prepared trays, allowing room for spreading. Lightly flatten with a fork or damp fingers. Bake until golden (15-18 minutes). Allow to cool on trays (the biscuits will harden on cooling). Stored in an airtight container, Anzac Biscuits will keep for 2 weeks.

I’m just making these for the 3rd time they are delicious golden brown and chewy. My family love them.

Hi Eliza, Best not to freeze cooked biscuits. But you can make the mix in advance and keep in the fridge for a few days before baking. Happy cooking!

I baked biscuits for the first time and they turned out perfect! Super excited and can't wait to try new recipes! :) and they were so easy to bake!

Are these biscuits suitable to freeze, already cooked? I have frozen other biscuits before, but the are terrible after defrosting. Cheers

Hi Joyce - you can use honey, although it will change the flavour of the biscuit. Let us know how you get on!

Mmm...I didn't make it yet. I'm making it for ma school project with ma friend tomorrow. When me and ma mum was shopping and buying the ingredients for the biscuits, we were surprised that we didn't need so many cups for the flour and stuff. Anyway, can you use honey instead of golden syrup?

have just made these biscuits as I thought they looked rather healthy. But find them a bit bland and wonder if there should be more golden syrup in them. also didn't go golden as they are showed in the picture, even though I cooked them for 20 mins, and they crumbled rather than sticking together. I was using an american sized cup - could this be the problem.
