Anzac biscuits

Time just flies with a baby! It's so amazing how quickly bubs grows and how happy he makes us :) Isaac turned 5 months around Anzac Day this year and since he was so well behaved, I had time to make some patriotic snacks. 
Now I've never been a fan of Anzac biccies - especially the ones bought from supermarkets... Yuck! too hard and just bleh... I found a recipe on the TM forum and thought to try a chewier version... yum! I didn't like getting my hands sticky but as my sister was babysitting, I didn't have to worry about carrying bubs with dirty hands :p

Ingredients

• 120g butter
• 40g syrup
• 2 tbs water
• 1 tsp bicarb soda
• 90g rolled oats
• 120g sugar or to taste (I used way less)
• 120g plain flour
• 50g desiccated coconut

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160C
2. Add butter, syrup and water to TM. Mix 2 min/70deg/sp2 until fully melted
3. Add bicarb soda and mix 5 sec/sp3
4. Add remaining ingredients and mix 1 min/interval speed
5. Roll teaspoonfuls into balls and place on a lined baking tray. Press lightly with back of spoon, allowing room for spreading
6. Bake until golden brown (10-15 min) - if you want more crunch, bake for longer (keep in mind that they harden up once cooled)
7. Leave to cool on trays for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack
