A.N.Z.A.C Biscuits

Well, tomorrow is A.N.Z.A.C. day, the Australian & New Zealand equivalent of Memorial day. A.N.Z.A.C stands for Australian & New Zealand Army Corps and is in honor of those who have served and fallen for our respective countries.

A little tradition I'd like to share however is Anzac Biccies (Biccie = Short for Biscuit = What American's refer to as a Cookie). Australian Women's Weekly posted a recipe for these delicious goodies, and while grocery shopping today I bought the ingredients so I can bake some tomorrow! In the meantime, check out the recipe!
