ANZAC BISCUITS WITH MACADAMIA NUTS
Something different; not tried so the time is just a guesstimate. You need to allow time for the toasted macadamia nuts to cool before cooking them; not sure how long that would take.

Steps:
- To toast nuts: Put them in an ungreased, shallow baking pan in a single layer. Bake at 325 for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through (or just give the pan a good shake). Once you start smelling them or they are a golden brown, take them out of the oven. Don't leave them in the cooking pan; put into another cool pan/plate to cool. Chop them.
- Combine the flour, rolled oats, sugar, coconut and cooled macadamia nuts.
- In a small saucepan, combine the water, honey and baking soda. Bring to a boil, then stir in the butter. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then stir into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon.
- Place tablespoons of dough onto the cookie sheets lined with parchment. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Leave a little room between cookies. Bake at 325 for 9 to 12 minutes (perhaps up to 15 min for crunchy). Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscuits will be. Use fresh, unsalted butter, golden syrup, and rolled oats. You can also use chopped walnuts or pecans instead of macadamia nuts.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, and then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: This will help the biscuits rise and become crispy. Bake the biscuits at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the biscuits cool before serving: The biscuits will be very hot when they come out of the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Anzac biscuits with macadamia nuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a morning tea or afternoon snack. These biscuits are also a great way to use up leftover oats. So next time you have a hankering for something sweet, give these biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
