Okay there are two camps for ANZAC biscuits – the chewy side and the crunchy side! I am in the I don’t care side – it’s an ANZAC and it’s yummy! These thermomix ANZAC biscuits are chewy and crunchy if you get them straight out of the oven and eaten warm – then when they cool down they are just like a brandy snap! In my opinion this makes them perfect for ice cream sandwiches! 😀
If you want to “dress up” your ANZAC biscuits, although I suspect that they won’t last long straight out of the oven! You could drizzle some chocolate over them. These are great lunch box fillers but they are also a great gift idea too!
If your family prefers a chunkier oat texture – then I would suggest adding 3/4 of the oats at step 4 and then add the remaining 1/4 just before scooping for oven trays and mix oats in with aid of spatula.

Well, as my first batch were practically hoovered within seconds, I had to make a second batch and hide them to last a few days! Never buying them again. I used 2 lined trays and made 24 biscuits that were slightly chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Thanks for a great recipe.
Thanks Tania – we also love the chewy inside and crispy outside. 🙂
Made a double batch following Tania’s advice as I wanted some for work and family
Everyone liked them, thanks
So pleased to hear Sarah – and yes a double batch is fairly essential as they are rather addictive!! 🙂
