how to make ANZAC Biscuits

ANZAC day is a day of commemoration in NZ and Australia. The traditional cookie is the biscuits made in this recipe, only without the ganache centre.
They're a delicious biscuit eaten without the ganache if you prefer a simpler recipe.
It's a very easy recipe that I've never had fail on me. Instead of using ganache, you can add ice cream which is really nice. You can head over to www.creamish.com.au to get some ideas for homemade ice cream. Or, just use the store bought ice cream!
