These cookies are famous among my close friends, I am asked to make them all the time. My daughter and I were researching Australia at the library for a school project. Loving food like I do, I picked up a cook book from that country. Read more . These cookies were made by mothers and wives for their men during the first world war. They lasted all long time, enough for the trip to Turkey. They are called ANZAC Biscuits after the Gallipoli landing. Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats |
3/4 cup shredded coconut |
1 cup flour |
1 cup white sugar |
1 tsp baking soda |
1/2 cup butter, softened (not margarine) |
1 tbls honey |
3 tbls boiling water |
2 tbls rum |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300
2. Cover two cookie sheets with aluminum foil
3. Cream butter with sugar. Add coconut, honey and rum. Set aside
4. Sift together flour and baking soda and add to butter mixture
5. Mix with hands just until blended (this is important, use hands) Add boiling water and lightly mix again
6. Using hands, drop small amounts of batter on to cookie sheets leaving enough space for them to spread out
7. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown (only one sheet at a time. I have tried two, but they do not bake evenly)
8. Let cool on cookie sheet, they will be soft and thin. Don't try to transfer to a cooling rack right away, they will fall apart.
