ANZAC Cookies with a Twist

Baking these golden oaty ANZAC biscuits on ANZAC Day is an annual tradition that honours our New Zealand servicemen and women. It's a day when I fondly remember my own Poppa, a proud WWII veteran and a true Kiwi who embodied the spirit of bravery and camaraderie.


In my Anzac Biscuit recipe below, I've added a twist to the traditional biscuit by including the spice of crystallized ginger, a drizzle of chocolate, and a sprinkle of sea salt. I always use Harraways oats as it feels right to use a 100% Kiwi company, plus I personally prefer the taste and quality of the products.

  • ½ cup Harraways Rolled Oats
  • 50g Butter

  • 2 tbsp golden syrup
  • â…“ cup caster sugar
  • ½ cup Harraways Scotch Oats
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut
  • ¼ cup crystallised ginger, roughly chopped (or 1 tbsp ginger powder)

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together over low heat. Stir until well combined, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  1. In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with warm water, and then add it to the melted butter and golden syrup mixture. Stir well.
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients, Harraways  rolled oats, Harraways scotch oats, caster sugar, desiccated coconut, crystallised ginger, and plain flour.
  1. Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and mix until smooth and well combined.
  1. Take spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking trays, and flatten with your hand.
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes or until the biscuits are a deep golden brown.
  1. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  1. While the biscuits are cooling, melt the chocolate over a bain marie. To do this, put a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, break the chocolate into small pieces, place into the bowl and stir until melted. Avoid letting the water touch the bowl to prevent the chocolate overheating and spoiling.
  1. Once the biscuits are cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over them and sprinkle with sea salt.
