Recipe video above. The great Aussie Anzac biscuits!! Crispy on the outside, a little chewy in the middle, buttery, with a beautiful deep golden colour with a toffee flavour. They will stay crispy on the edges for a week and though they will soften, still fresh for another week. Re-crisp with a quick blast in the oven!Sweetness - Some readers have commented they find these too sweet. I really don't find them too sweet, I was not brought up with very sugary desserts. If you reduce sugar, you will lose crispiness and the cookie will be more crumbly ie texture not as Anzac biscuits are intended to be!
