Macadamia Anzac Biscuits

The 25th Of April Marks ANZAC day

The 25th of April marks ANZAC day, and these delectable Anzac biscuits are traditionally made and enjoyed for this day of remembrance.

Remembrance for the Australians and New Zealand forces who served and died in all wars, and for the first landing of the Anzacs (Australian & New Zealand Army Corps) at Gallipoli, which led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during the World War One.

I often enjoy making these Anzac biscuits. They are so easy to make and with there long shelf life, a sure delectable staple that will last in the cookie jar.

Although with the kids hands always in the cookie jar, I haven’t really been able to test the longevity theory on them 😅

There are so many versions of the Anzac biscuits, from soft, chewy, thin and crunchy.

Making the choices to bake this simple biscuit, all the more harder to choose.

I couldn’t decide, so this batch I made them slightly crispy on the outside, yet still chewy and soft in the centre 😋, and I added some macadamia nuts, just to be different 🤷🏼‍♀️.

These Anzac biscuits are so delectable, you don’t have to save them for just Anzac day. Perfect for anytime of the year.

Baked a fresh batch to have with afternoon tea.

If you’d like to bring a little Australian history into your home, why not give these sweet Anzac biscuits a go.

Bake Love, Not War 🥀

The cookie will be very soft, so let it cool for a few minutes on tray before transferring to a cooling rack 😉
