chocolate sandwiched Anzac biscuits for the long weekend


These are good, really really good.
Sandwich together regular Anzac bickies with chocolate icing.
I accidently used 1 tbsp treacle and 1 tbsp of golden syrup instead of all golden syrup. I like the result.
I made 84 biscuits, so 42 sandwiched little darlings.


1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp treacle (or use all golden syrup)
1 tsp baking soda mixed with 1 tbsp warm water
1 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup SR flour

Preheat the oven to 140C. Line 3 baking sheets with baking paper.

Mix together the oats, coconut and SR flour.

Melt the butter, sugar and syrups in a separate bowl in the microwave. Add the bicarb mixture and stir, it should fluff up.

Add the wet to the dry mixture and stir well.

Shape teaspoonfuls into balls. Press down with your fingers to flatten. Leave about 1cm between them to spread.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.

Sandwich together with chocolate icing.

Chocolate Icing
Put in a bowl 2 tbsp dark cocoa, 1 cup icing sugar, 1 tbsp softened butter. Pour over about 1 tbsp boiling water. Stir well. Add more water or icing sugar to get a thick, but spreadable icing.
