Anzac Cookies image

This is based on a recipe from Beatrice Ojakangas', Great Holiday Baking Book. She explains, "Australians still participate in the tradition of four o'clock afternoon tea, which can be a simple or formal occasion, and features a selection of sandwiches, scones, cookies, and cakes that are fancy and plain. This is the time to rest and 'restoke the furnace.' These thin, crisp oat and coconut drop cookies are a welcome part of the simplest or most elaborate tea." I haven't yet tried this.
