More Cookies: Anzac Biscuits Dressed Up for the Holidays"},"content":{"rendered":"

 <\/p>\n

Originally, I was thinking about making these No Sugar Oat Drops<\/a>, but it being the holidays I decided they were maybe a little too close to a granola bar…a little too healthy (yes, I’m crazy). I even bought the overripe bananas at the grocery in anticipation of making them, but then settled on a batch of Anzac biscuits.<\/p>\n

Anzac biscuits are a brilliant invention all their own. Coconut, oats, brown sugar, butter, Lyle’s Golden Syrup and a little baking soda and water. What’s not to like? But since the holidays are all about gilding the lily, I thought I’d dress ’em up a little. By altering the recipe, it’s not strictly an Anzac biscuit anymore, but it’s an oaty, coconutty drop of delicious, that’s for sure, and with a couple of additional tweaks, it just gets better. So coconut, oats…plus what?

My answer was crystallized ginger and chocolate chips. I didn’t want to out-and-out ginger the thing, I just wanted that little kick when you bite into a chunk of ginger. In adapting Bill Granger’s original recipe<\/a>, I also used whole wheat pastry flour and cut the brown sugar in half, since I was using sweetened coconut.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the second cookie in the picture up top is sans chocolate chips on purpose…I wanted a few with just ginger, just for me. :)<\/p>\n\t\r\n\t
