Each year millions of people throughout the world celebrate Anzac Day on April 25. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. Anzac Day is one of the most important National Holidays for both Australia and New Zealand, but it is also celebrated in other smaller countries. It is a day to honour members of the ANZAC who fought in the first major military action by the Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War around 1914-1915.
It is commonly believed that the wives and loved ones of the ANZAC would send “Anzac Cookies/Biscuits” to their men during that war. The cookies were able to withstand not only the overseas travel, but still be edible. They were a welcome treat from home for the soldiers who were far away.
Today’s versions have changed somewhat and are prepared in Australia and New Zealand to help remember the ANZAC soldiers, not only on ANZAC day, but thought out the year. The AZNAC cookie is known as the National “Biscuit”, as the people from “down under” like to call them. ANZAC Cookie/Biscuits recipes are used throughout the world because it produces a delicious crisp cookie with a rich caramel colour and taste. Many people find it similar to the Scottish Oatmeal Cakes. Have you ever tried one? Below are photos of these amazing mouth-watering cookies.
