“I am still convinced that a good, simple, homemade cookie is preferable to all the store-bought cookies one can find.”

[print_this]Recipe: Not Quite Anzac Cookies 
Summary: They are nice, chewy if you like them them that way, and crisp if you bake them longer! I loved the flavours trapped within – brown sugar and butter create some delightful butterscotch like magic, and the walnut meal adds delicious taste.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 100g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 75ml golden syrup {or 100ml golden syrup and no honey}
- 25ml honey
- 1tsp baking soda
- 55g natural sugar or granulated sugar {I used bura,a raw sugar available in India}
- 55gm brown sugar
- 100gm plain flour
- 100gm rolled oats
- 100gm walnuts
Method:
- Preheat oven to 150C
- Run the walnuts in the processor with the flour until you get a fine-meal.
- Heat butter, honey and golden syrup in a pan over low heat till the butter melts and the two mix together. {Can do it in the microwave too}
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. The dough will be a little stiff.
- Drop tbsp of dough on parchment lined cookie sheets, flatten with the tines of a fork. {I rolled the dough into balls, flattened them slightly with the palm of my hand, and then further flattened them by pressing down with a fork.}.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Leave to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes {they are quite tender when they come out of the oven} , and then transfer on racks to cool completely.
- Thermomix Recipe:
- Run the walnuts in the TM bowl with the flour on speed 7 for 30 seconds to get a fine-meal. Scrape and repeat if necessary. Turn into a bowl and reserve.
- Place butter, honey and golden syrup into TM bowl. Heat for 2 minutes at 60C on speed 2 until fully dissolved. Place bicarb into bowl and mix for 5 seconds on speed 3.
- Add remaining ingredients and set dial to closed position and mix for 30-35 seconds on interval speed…. then continue as above from step 4.
