The Anzac Biscuit image

This is for Zaar World Tour 5 from the Australian/New Zealand region, from the website Australianfood.about.com. ANZAC was the name given to soldiers from Australia and New Zealand during the WW1, and the biscuits were the cookies (because they are cookies) that the women made for the soldiers.
