Anzac Cookies for Anzac Day

I decided to make Anzac cookies today for Anzac Day.

This is the day we commemorate our servicemen. The men and women that are serving our country in wars, and those who have fallen. Lest we Forget.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups plain flour, sifted
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup caster sugar (I substituted 1/4 of this as brown sugar)
• 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup or treacle
• 150g unsalted butter, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda

Method

Preheat oven to 170°C.
Place the flour, oats, sugar and coconut in a large bowl and stir to combine.

In a small saucepan place the golden syrup and butter and stir over low heat until the butter has fully melted. Mix the bicarb soda with 1 1/2 tablespoons water and add to the golden syrup mixture.

It will bubble whilst you are stirring together so remove from the heat. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix together until fully combined.

Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on baking trays lined with non stick baking paper, pressing down on the tops to flatten slightly.

Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Makes about 24 bite size cookies. Recipe via Taste.com.au

Now I am off to drink a lot of water...I may have polished off an entire bottle of Moscato (which is huge for me) *burps* yay for public holidays!!

Ciao Lovelies :)
