"Crunchy biscuit, old aussie favourite, goes back to world war 1 when mothers and wives sent then to their sons, husbands battling in the war front, they do have a density to be on the dry side but that is what them so travelable as they were often 2 or 3 months in transit."

Flavor, crispness, texture just perfect! I baked mine at 350ºF. One tray for almost 20 minutes, and they were a little on the dark side, but ok The other tray was for about 18 minutes and they were perfect. I used a 1 Tablespoon scoop on parchment covered trays and got 26 biscuits. Ok, 24. Oops, now there are 22. I must say, I have never met an Anzac biscuit that I didn't love!

A very flavorful, crisp cookie (biscuit). I baked the first batch for 20 minutes, which was too long, so did the second for 15 minutes. These spread out a lot so leave space between them. Also, using your tablespoon size mounds, I only ended up with 16 cookies, not 32, and cookies were quite large. I will use a smaller scoop next time.

Smells Like Salad

This is what a I call the perfect cookie (biscuit in your neck of the woods): thin, crispy but not too buttery. I had to sub honey for the golden syrup which I can find it although it has a "gourmet" price tag. For fun, I replaced half of the butter with coconut oil. Baked at 300 degrees F for exactly 15 minutes on a parchment lined jelly roll pan. Served with English Breakfast tea for Elevenses earlier today. Prepared for the First Time Tag game. Note: It does help to have those ingredients in correct order and also I think you meant 16 tablespoons not teaspoons. Thanks, ImPat for posting!
