It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ANZAC stands for "Australian (and) New Zealand Army Corps" and were developed during World War I. They are a hard oatmeal cookie that is still popular today.
serves/makes:
ready in:
1-2 hrs
1-2 hrs
ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup grated or flaked coconut
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons Lyle's golden syrup
directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet.
Combine the oats, flour, sugar, coconut, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Heat the butter and golden syrup (or treacle) in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted.
Combine the butter mixture and flour mixture and stir until well mixed and a dough is formed.
Using your fingers and a spoon, pack the dough into teaspoon-sized balls and place the cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let stand for 3 minutes. Then remove the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
recipe tips
Measure the ingredients accurately for best results.
Combine the dry ingredients thoroughly first.
Form the dough into even-sized balls so they bake evenly.
Space the cookies apart on the baking sheet to allow for spreading.
Bake until just golden brown. Don't overbake the cookies.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
common recipe questions
Can I use honey instead of golden syrup?
Yes, you can use honey as a substitute, but golden syrup gives a unique flavor.
Do I use sweetened or unsweetened coconut?
You can use either. Unsweetened will give the cookie a more savory flavor while sweetened will of course make it more sweet.
Is it necessary to use unsalted butter?
Unsalted butter is recommended for controlling the salt content, but you can use salted butter and omit the added salt.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges. Do not overbake them or they will be very hard (the cookie is already a hard cookie).
Can I add other ingredients to these cookies?
Yes, you can add ingredients like raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips.
What can I use instead of rolled oats?
You can use quick oats, but the texture of the cookies will be slightly different.
How should I store the Anzac cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Can I prepare the cookie dough ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking.
Is there a way to make these cookies chewier?
For chewier cookies, bake them for a shorter time and remove them from the oven when they are just set.
nutrition data
Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
