Perfect chewy-crisp biscuits with caramel notes, ideal for lunchboxes, coffee time or an afternoon treat.
About this recipe
Anzac Biscuits with the Thermomix TM7 are the ultimate quick bake: chewy rolled oats, toasted desiccated coconut and rich golden syrup combined into golden, caramel-flavoured biscuits that fill your kitchen with a wonderful buttery aroma. Searching for an easy Anzac biscuit recipe or homemade biscuit recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This snack is exactly what you need. The TM7 melts the butter and golden syrup with controlled heating so nothing catches or burns, while the mixing function folds oats, flour and light sugar into an even, crumbly dough within minutes. No electric beaters, no saucepans, no mess. These biscuits are perfect for lunchboxes, afternoon coffee, bake sales or a nostalgic treat around Anzac Day. The combination of crisp edges and chewy coconut-oat centres makes them a family favourite that disappears from the biscuit tin within days.
Preparation tips
- Use a tablespoon or small ice-cream scoop to portion the dough onto the baking trays, leaving plenty of space between spoonfuls as the Anzac biscuits spread considerably while baking.
- For chewy centres, take the biscuits out when they still look slightly soft and pale in the middle; they firm up on the tray as they cool, giving that classic soft-inside, crisp-edge texture.
- Store the cooled Anzac biscuits in an airtight tin with a slice of bread to keep them chewy, or swap the plain flour for gluten-free flour and the butter for coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- Chill the dough briefly if your kitchen is warm, as soft golden syrup and butter make the mixture harder to shape and cause the biscuits to spread too thin during baking.
Recipe variations
- Make a chocolate version by drizzling the cooled Anzac biscuits with melted dark chocolate or pressing a few chocolate chunks into each biscuit before baking for a kid-friendly twist.
- For a festive variation, add a pinch of ground cinnamon and chopped macadamia nuts to the oat mixture, or replace half the desiccated coconut with flaked almonds for extra crunch.
