ANZAC BISCUITS III
Traditional Australian recipe, handed down from my mother. Originally, these delicious bikkies (biscuits) were lovingly baked and sent in care packages to our soldiers at war. I am an Aussie living in Japan, so I know the substitutions work because I have had to use them!!

- Toast the oats in the oven before using them to enhance their flavor.
- Use golden syrup instead of corn syrup for a more authentic flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
