Ever since I came across ANZAC cookies on Three Cookies blog, I just knew I had to try them as they sounded so delicious and he's always raving about them!!! Indeed they were very tasty! Crisp, chewy and very fragrant!! I could just these the whole day long! Sigh.... If only they won't be make me fat!!!!
ANZAC cookies come from Australia and New Zealand and stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Visit history of the anzac cookie to read a bit more about how this cookie was invented.
I also passed some to my New Zealander friend and he gave the thumps up so this is definitely a recipe to keep in my over flowing recipe folder!!

Three Cookies: I used light olive oil so I couldn't taste it at all. I've update the recipe to reflect this. We've now finished all the cookies so making another batch is in order! :)

Hi Sylvia, I forgot to say. Since you will be making it again, I suggest making extra dough and freezing it. Freezing does not affect the quality. However the problem is that frozen dough eaten straight out of the freezer is extremely delicious. Sometimes I want to make ANZAC dough just to eat frozen:)
ReplyDeletereally!? eat it frozen?! that i gotta try!! haha Thanks for the tip Mr Three Cookies! :)
ReplyDeleteYour cookies is so pretty! makes me want to grab it from my screen! My no flour cookies failed miserably 2 days ago, looks like i have to try again..
