Hello Dear Reader,
The boys went fishing for the weekend and I wanted to make something sweet that was easy to carry and would taste yummy. I have made this recipe many times before and it is so delicious with the addition of macadamias, they add a lovely crunch and nuttiness to the already, fabulous biscuits. Did you know that the original ANZAC biscuits where made to be sent to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troops overseas and were made to last a long time, even though they were made with longevity in mind they are absolutely delicious, crunchy and full of goodness. Give them a go, I think you will love them.
My darling Mum made these, minus the macadamias, when we were young, for school lunches, she would purposely almost burn a tray, just for me, as I liked them really well done, they would taste like dark toffee, YUM!
Roll small walnut size balls of biscuit mixture and flatten slightly with your fingers. Leave room around each biscuit as they will spread and flatten out

Biscuit mixture ready to be rolled and baked

Bake at 175 C for 15 minutes, but keep an eye on them as, you know, every oven is different. Fresh from the oven they will still be very soft so let them cool on the tray for 10 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining mixture
