TIP: If you like crisp Anzac biscuits rather than chewy ones, cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes. Biscuits can be made up to one week ahead. Store in an airtight container.

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour

1 1/3 cups traditional rolled oats

¾ cup caster sugar

¾ cup desiccated coconut

125g unsalted butter, chopped

Grease two large oven trays. Line with baking paper.

Step 2.

Place oats, flour, coconut, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.

Step 3.

Step 4.

Step 5.

Roll tblsps of the mixture into balls. Place 5cm apart on prepared trays. Press to flatten slightly.
