Hello! Steph Chows here and I just took part of Operation Baking Gals. We are baking cookies for the troops in Iraq! ANZAC biscuits are an Australian cookie it stands for Australian New Zealand Army Core and back in the day they were sent out to the troops since they ship well and don’t spoil easy. What could be more perfect to send out to our troops in Iraq! PLUS they are super easy to make and super chewy and delicious. They are a bit on the sugary sweet side but I actually found this recipe in Cooking Light years upon years ago. I hope you love them! And if you bake and want to help out go to Operation Baking Gals and join in on the baking fun!
