ANZAC Biscuits

With ANZAC Day (the equivalent of Memorial Day or Remembrance Day in Australia and New Zealand) today and it being school holiday's my 9 year old daughter wanted to do some baking. ANZAC Biscuits like those made by Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troops fighting at Gallipoli in WWI. Simple and easy to make.
