Today I am sharing one of my favourite and most used recipes with you, my ANZAC biscuit recipe. ANZAC biscuits are chewy-crisp, buttery oatmeal-coconut cookies and the French love them almost as much as we do and they love the history that is associated with them.

Tomorrow New Zealand and Australia will  be commemorating ANZAC day, Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served" and the 25th April was the first landing of the Anzacs at Gallipoli during WW1.

Legend has it that wives and mothers would mail ANZAC biscuits  to their soldiers in ANZAC ? the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ? because, without eggs and being quite sturdy, they traveled and kept well.
