While I do not claim for these cookies to be true Anzac biscuits, the basis for the ingredients screamed like an Annie cookie. Without eggs, the cookies held up quite well despite lacking eggs when families sent these biscuits to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps–hence Anzac–circa WWI. The true recipe calls for oats, flour, sugar, butter, “golden syrup,” and coconut. I found a recipe for these in Sweet, and I decided to tweak these to be my own. I call them Coconut Oatmeal Cookies with Raisins & Lemon. They’re still sweet (despite using only 3/4 c sugar instead of almost 2 c), bright from the cardamom and lemon zest, and perfectly chewy thanks to the oats and raisins. They’re like an updated version of your grandmother’s oatmeal raisin cookies.

No Buttah in These Cookies
These Vanilla Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies taste like cake. Scratch that. Better than cake because they’re bite size.

I tried to lighten up your classic cookie with egg whites, powdered sugar plus coconut sugar and non-fat Greek yogurt instead of butter. They might not be the prettiest cookies, but boy, are they delicious!
