I really liked this recipe but I think the baking time was too long. I think it should be more like 12-15 minutes. I made a few changes to the recipe-- The batter seemed a little too moist and gooey so I added a little extra flour. Also I substituted light corn syrup for the golden syrup (I didn't have golden syrup-- in fact I've never heard of it). And lastly I added a tsp of almond flavoring. I'll add this recipe to my collection! Read More

Somehow I managed to mess up the recipe and the cookies molded into one giant cookie in the oven and it looked really gross. However I brought the mass cookie to a college class for a presentation to prove that I tried and everyone LOVED the flavor. The cookie was not attractive but DELICIOUS none the less and a hit! The dough itself is wonderful before it's baked. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly and hopefully you'll have better luck.:) Read More

I'm Australian and from what I understand golden syrup is similar to molasses. The point is to get that golden colour so I think molasses or even the dark glucose syrup would be closer to the original.. Read More

In all my years of cooking ANZAC's I never thought of including almonds in the recipe but they really do work well. The only changes I made where to add a little more liquid to the batter use hand chopped almonds and to reduce the cooking time to 12-15 mins. They tasted nice and very anzac'y although next time I would include some dessicated coconut as to me they did not taste quite complete without it. Thankyou Allison this recipe is definately worth trying. Read More

I tampered with this recipe a great deal (mainly due to poor math skills and an excess of unwanted food provisions) but the finished product was wonderful! Instead of rolled oats I used ground bran flakes which in combination with the syrup made this delightfully gooey center surrounded by a crispy butter crust. As for the "golden syrup" I decided to mix 1/2 honey and 1/2 maple syrup. Of course in doing so I accidently doubled the amount of the "golden syrup" in the recipe. =/ I subsituted Splenda for the sugar and other than that it was the same. Haha. =) The cookie/biscuits were so good they were gone nearly as soon as my family discovered the pan! Read More

These were a really nice change from the usual cookies. They had this great flavor that was really refreshing coming from a cookie. I didn't have any golden syrup at the time so I substituted molasses and I used ground almonds instead of sliced and it gave it a really nice nutty flavor. One of my friends just asked me the other day to 'Make those weird Australian cookies again' so I think I will:) Read More

Really easy and really yummy. Much nicer than flapjacks and I can kid myself that I'm eating healthily because they've got oats in them!! Read More

Sorry but I didn't think these were that good. I have never had these kind of 'biscuits' before so maybe that is why? I was looking for a cookie recipe that called for melted butter because I didn't want to wait for my butter to soften and I don't have a microwave. They didn't have much flavor despite the almonds and tasted really sweet and bland. Maybe they could use a pinch of salt to bring out the flavor and some almond extract? Anyway I probably won't try them again. Read More
