ANZAC BISCUIT
A traditional Australian Biscuit!
This is a popular Australian and New Zealand sweet biscuit with base ingredients of rolled oats, flour, desiccated coconut, sugar, butter and golden syrup. It has been claimed the biscuits were sent by wives to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation.
1 tub makes approx 50 x 20g cookies.
If making larger cookies allow longer baking times.
