ANZAC biscuits

ANZAC biscuits are traditional Australian and New Zealand cookies made from rolled oats, sugar, butter, golden syrup, flour, coconut, and baking soda. Created during World War I, they were sent by families to soldiers because they traveled well without spoiling. The ingredients are simple, hearty, and energy-rich, reflecting their purpose as nourishing snacks for troops. The term "ANZAC" honors the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and the biscuits are associated with commemorative occasions. Their chewy texture and caramel flavor make them a popular and cultural symbol, representing history, resourcefulness, and tradition.
