9 best Anzac biscuit recipes for ANZAC Day

No matter what Anzac biscuit recipe you bake from, there are some non-negotiable essential ingredients: rolled oats, showers of coconut and a generous drizzle of golden syrup. Some like their Anzac biscuits crunchy with a satisfying snap and crisp; others prefer them soft, chewy or crumbly.

Whether you want to bake to commemorate ANZAC Day or just want to eat Anzac bikkies on any occasion, we have plenty of recipes to try. We have a classic Anzac biscuits recipe that’s a must-have in your baking repertoire, as well as an equally satisfying rework with rosemary (which, yes, can be considered controversial, but trust us, it works).

Anzac biscuits are also the inspiration for our more creative recipes, from French-Australian Anzac macarons to Anzac biscuit apple pie to Anzac biscuit layer cakes with mascarpone. We’re sure our recipe for Anzac and golden syrup ice-cream sandwiches will keep you coming back for more, too.
