ANZAC biscuits have had a long association with the Australia and New Zealand Army going all the way back to World War 1. The ANZAC biscuit recipe was created to ensure the biscuits would keep well during transportation from loved ones on the front line.

Although the ANZAC biscuit has become a symbolic biscuit of remembrance on ANZAC day (25 April), it is an easy and tasty snack to have on any occasion. The biscuits are quite chewy and crisp, with a long shelf-life.
