Liz says
I always seem to make a mess of Anzac Bikkies ??♀️ Do I roll the mixture into balls then bake or flatten first?
Thanks ?
Lucy says
It depends how flat you'd like them! If you'd like quite flat biscuits, then flatten first. But if you prefer them thicker and chewier, then leave them as balls (I'd still flatten the balls ever so slightly though!).
Lisa says
Ooh yum! I add a big handful of macadamia pieces with the rolled oats, flour and coconut. Worth it - although it’s yummy without too!
Lucy Mathieson says
Great idea!
Rachael says
