40+ walnut-size cookies (or 20 normal-size cookies)
Author Notes
Anzac- the New Zealand and Australian’s national cookie; cookies that wives made for their dear husbands going to war. Fortunately, I’m just making it for my own gluttonous pleasure, eating it all before my other half comes home. My good friend/consultant from New Zealand gave me this wonderful recipe months ago. Extremely easy to make; in a matter of 10 minutes, these cookies were in the oven and the whole house smelled like oats and butter. The crunch and oats reminded me of BA’s Quaker’s oatmeal cookies; I’m tempted to throw in some raisins into the dough, though I can already imagine Glenn shaking his fist and defending the authenticity of his country’s cookie. —FrancesRen
