Aussie Chewy Crunchy Anzac Cookies


Aussie Chewy Crunchy Anzac Cookies

Classic buttery Aussie biscuits with a chewy centre and crisp edges

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

15 minutes

Serves

10 cookies

Ingredients

  • 125 grams melted butter (salted or unsalted is fine)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • One half teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (220 g) firmly packed brown sugar
  • Three quarter cup (60 g) desiccated coconut

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 C (356 F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients and mix well until everything is fully combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but easy to shape.
  3. Take a small handful of the mixture and roll it into a ball, roughly the size of a golf ball. Rustic shape is fine.
  4. Place the balls on the prepared tray, leaving space between each to allow for spreading (around 10 cookies).
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, gently lay a sheet of foil over the cookies to prevent over-browning. They will still feel soft — this is normal.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray so the bases become crispy while the centres stay chewy.

Tip: Wait until fully cooled — eating too soon makes them too soft.

Watch It Being Made

Tips

For extra crisp edges, bake 2 minutes longer — but keep a close eye on them.
