These biscuits (cookies) are named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, a famous army corps from World War I.  These cookies were made during the war because they used fewer ingredients and they shipped well due to the fact that the cookies were harder.  Try them they are good!

Recipe:
2 cups rolled oats ½ cup sugar
1 cup flour 125gm butter, melted
1 tablespoon golden syrup - a product made from cane sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons boiling water  
Combine the oats, sugar, flour and melt together. Then add the golden syrup, and finally the baking soda dissolved in the boiling water. Put spoonfuls of the mixture on a greased tray and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes or until cooked a golden-brown color and crispy.
