I look as if I’m out cold, but the smell of those cookies woke me up, you can bet your boopy!
Well, when the goin’ gets tough, the tough get cookin’, haha.
Mama’s sisinlaw (new word, easier to write) mentioned a breakfast cookie that mama tried out a few days ago and now all of us are addicted, It is the traditional cookie of Australia, called Anzac, and we’re going to put in the recipe because mama cut the sugar quite a lot as they were way too sweet for all of us.
So stir some up and let us know how they turned out!
I use the word “us” figuratively…I got a little lick of butter off mama’s finger. Big deal, eh?
But they do smell incredibly good, even to a kitty. And mama says to mention that they are…er…efficacious, whatever that means. She says you’ll figure that one out on your own, haha.
Petit dejeuner Anzac biscuits
Heat the oven to 350F/180C.
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
3/4 cup desiccated coconut, unsweetened
1/2 cup brown or white sugar, minus a couple of spoons if you like less sweetness
4 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Couple of pinches of salt
Tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
3-4 tablespoons boiling water
In a mixing bowl, mix all ingredients and knead with floured hands until the mixture holds well together. This can take a few minutes.
Grease a cookie sheet with light butter. Form little 1-inch balls (or bigger, if you want bigger cookies) and flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in water. Or simply use your palms, dampened so that the dough doesn’t stick.
Bake until brown and crispy.
Mama says these are addicting so be careful, haha.
Hey, at least I got my little butter lick….
We bet if your mama added a little catnip to those cookies, they’d be really really good!
Hey if it were the 60s mama might be adding something to them herself ha ha whatever that might be.
Oh my! Those sound delish (to my Mom) and while her “breakfast cookie-ish” talent has only consisted of making cranberry biscotti about once a week she might give this a whirl! Thanks for sharing. Maybe I can get her to give me a tiny taste???
Hugs, Teddy
Oh, mama makes almond biscotti with fennel seed, and mama has the recipe in her book, Rome, at Home. Cranberry Biscotti sound deelish. Not every cook tackles biscotti, mama says.
Ooooh – these look good and Mamma is making a screen shot of the recipe! And while we were in Provence, Alix made some cookies that would be wonderful as appetizers – herb and bit of sugar and the peeps went wild! Mamma will send the recipe – and since it’s not too sweet maybe we can get a taste!!!
SEND SEND SEND
They look really good Loulou !
Well, it’s fun to pretend one is having tea as do the Brits….so civilized, haha. Not for me, but maybe I could get hold of some Devon cream, YES! Whatever that is.
I’ll bet those cookies really are good!
They are, they make the house smell really nice.
