Combine the flavours of two iconic Australian sweets (the chewy Anzac biscuit and chocolate orange Jaffa lollies) to make a biscuit that will more than satisfy your sweet tooth.

This recipe sees the classic Anzac biscuit infused with finely grated orange zest, and topped with a decadent drizzle of dark chocolate.

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup desiccated coconut

¾ cup brown sugar

125g butter

2 Tbsp golden syrup

Finely grated zest of 1 orange

2 Tbsp orange juice

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

2 Tbsp Dutch cocoa

125g dark chocolate melts, melted

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 150° fan-forced (170° conventional). Line 4 oven trays with baking paper. Put flour in a large bowl then stir in oats, coconut and sugar. 

  2. Put butter, golden syrup, orange zest and juice in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Stir occasionally until butter has melted. Stir in bicarb then remove from heat.

  3. Pour warm butter mixture into flour mixture and stir until well combined. 

  4. Divide dough in 2. Transfer 1 portion to a medium bowl. Sift in cocoa and stir until combined.

  5. Roll 1 heaped tsp of the plain dough into a ball then roll 1 heaped tsp of the chocolate dough. Gently roll 2 balls together to marble. Repeat to make 27 more marbled balls.
