 Anzac biscuits (cookies) are crunchy and economical. They are an Australian favorite. Anzac biscuits were created during World War I when there were egg shortages. Australians sent them in food parcels to the troops who became famous as Anzacs (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) . The coconut is available from health or Asian food stores.

  1 cup Quaker Oats

  3/4 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut

  2 tbsp boiling water

  4 oz butter

  1 cup all purpose flour

  1 cup sugar

  1/2 tsp baking soda

  1 tbsp golden syrup

Preheat oven to 300° F. Lightly grease baking trays. Combine oats, coconut, flour and sugar. Combine butter and syrup in saucepan and stir over low heat until butter melts. Mix soda with boiling water; add to melted butter mixture. Stir into dry ingredients. Drop teaspoonfuls onto baking trays and press with fork. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on trays for a few minutes, then carefully remove to wire racks. Store in airtight containers. Makes about 48.

World War I holds great interest for me and reading its history is a hobby of mine.  These are surely a must try for me.  Thanks so much for sharing!
