Insta-cookies

I know it's not April.

I know it's not ANZAC Day.

But

The Big Cheese requested that I make some of his all time favourite cookies.
I hadn't made them since high school, but thought I'd give them a go.
So I Googled : Chewy ( a requirement - apparently) Anzac Cookie recipes and took pot luck ( there were soooo many to choose from)
These weren't bad - they got the thumbs up from the Big Cheese and I guess that's the main thing... but I think I can do better....

 I documented the experiment using Instagram App because the photos are SO much more forgiving than real life ( and I think they look pretty!)

Ok... tools at the ready

My rare, high-tech and very impressive sifting device

The dry ingredients

I just LOVED the moment the BiCarb hit the butter

and golden syrup melting in the saucepan -

like a volcano erupting, it looked so cool

This....

Became this.....

They smelt so good but at this stage I had visions of

them all melting into one giant tray of cookie!

Voila!

Maybe not quite as "chewy" as requested

Of Course someone had to be the taste-tester

Lest we forget.
