Cannabis ANZAC Biscuits
Cannabis ANZAC Biscuits. Approximately ~12mg THC per biscuit at full strength. 35 min total, 24 biscuits yield.
These cannabis-infused ANZAC biscuits honour the legendary oat biscuits that Aussie and Kiwi women sent to soldiers during WWI. The original recipe’s simple pantry ingredients—oats, coconut, golden syrup—create the perfect base for cannabis infusion, with the rich flavours naturally complementing cannabutter’s earthy notes.
Each biscuit contains approximately 12mg THC when made with standard cannabutter, making them ideal for controlled dosing. Start with half a biscuit if you’re new to edibles, or calculate your exact dose with our free Edibles Dosage Calculator.

Preheat your oven to 160°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper. An Candy Thermometer ensures accurate temperature for even baking.
Combine oats, flour, coconut, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to distribute evenly.
Melt both butters with golden syrup in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
Dissolve bicarbonate of soda in boiling water, then immediately stir into the butter mixture. It will foam—this creates the classic ANZAC texture.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix—you want rustic, textured biscuits.
Shape tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place on prepared trays, leaving 5cm between each biscuit for spreading.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Centres should still look slightly soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.
Cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container once completely cool.
Perfect Cannabutter Temperature
Keep cannabutter soft but not melted when mixing—this prevents the biscuits from spreading too much during baking.
Golden Syrup Substitute
If you can’t find golden syrup, use honey or maple syrup, though the flavour will be slightly different from traditional ANZACs.
Texture Control
For chewy biscuits, remove when edges are just golden. For crunchy ANZACs, bake until evenly golden brown all over.
Half-Strength Option
Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter to reduce potency to 6mg per biscuit—perfect for beginners or daytime snacking.
Dosage Consistency
Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to ensure all biscuits are the same size for consistent dosing across the batch.
Proper Labelling
Always label containers with “CANNABIS,” the date made, and dosage per biscuit. Keep away from children and pets.
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | 5-7 days | Airtight container, stays chewy |
| Refrigerated | 2 weeks | Best for maintaining potency |
| Frozen | 3 months | Wrap individually, thaw at room temp |

Yes, but this will double the potency to approximately 24mg per biscuit. Only do this if you’re experienced with edibles and comfortable with higher doses. Most people find the half-and-half ratio perfect for balanced effects.
Effects typically begin 30-120 minutes after consumption, with peak effects around 2-3 hours. Eating them on an empty stomach may speed onset, while a full stomach can delay effects up to 2 hours.
If you’re making your own cannabutter, yes—decarboxylation activates THC for psychoactive effects. If you’re using store-bought cannabutter or cannabis oil, it should already be decarboxylated. Check our cannabutter guide for detailed instructions.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness. Always label with contents, dosage, and date. Keep away from children, pets, and anyone who shouldn’t consume cannabis.
Stay calm—cannabis overconsumption is uncomfortable but not dangerous. Find a quiet, safe space, stay hydrated, and try to sleep it off. Effects will pass in 4-8 hours. Call the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) if you’re concerned.
Yes, use 80g of cannabis coconut oil in place of the 100g total butter. The biscuits may have a slightly different texture but will taste delicious. Coconut oil works particularly well with ANZAC biscuits since they already contain desiccated coconut.
