Anzac Cookies
AuthorMeg's KitchenThe Anzac cookie is a sweet cookie, popular in Australia and New Zealand, made using rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup, baking soda, boiling water, and desiccated coconut. Anzac biscuits/ cookies have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I.
It has been claimed that biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily, and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation (Wikipedia).
We sure have them to thank for giving the world this wonderful recipe. Its super easy, quick and delicious. It’s been our home favourite for a while now, because of the crispy, chewy texture.
