I have called these Australian Biscuits as the ingredients I have used in the recipe are not traditional. I have never tasted an Anzac biscuit, but I baked a batch of these for our road trip and to have with our coffee while we were in Sedgefield.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Australian Biscuits ♥
For years Dave and I have been discussing our lounge furniture. For the most part we don’t need extra seating. But when we have friends or family over, it would be helpful. Last month my parents came to visit and I decided that the time was perfect for us to get something. The first idea had been to get Coricraft chairs to match what we have. But when we looked at the prices, Dave suggested getting another couch. We went into the store to see if we could get colour samples as the fabrics have changed. The lady assisting us did not listen to what I was saying and eventually she gave us 2 colour samples and we left. When we got home Dave measured the space the couch would take up, and it was just not feasible.

We decided 2 arm chairs would be best, and I decided we did not need to go back to Coricraft. That weekend we drove to Sedgefield, and on the way there we stopped at Botha & Barnard. They made our dining room table, chairs and sideboard all to our specifications in blackwood. And in the showroom they had two chairs, in blackwood, with material that was complementary to our couches. It was as if it was meant to be. The sales lady offered us a great price and when Dave and I went back the following day, Dave decided to order the top for our bar table. This too is bespoke, and in blackwood, so we had to wait a bit for it to be made up. Everything arrived the day before my parents flew down and the chairs really made a difference to the comfort of our lounge.

Thank you Sheree 🙂
Your biscuits look like Anzac biscuits, I should try making them with Maple syrup for a change. It looks like they didn’t spread much, which is great. enjoy.
They are exactly that, but because I swapped out ingredients, I could not use the name 🙂
Can’t wait to bake these delicious looking biscuits. Thank you for the inspiration
hope you enjoy them Merle 🙂
That was a good idea to bake a biscuit to take with you for your road trip. I often back something so we don’t have to stop. Funny how well it worked out with chairs from a different manufacturer. Enjoy them.
Thanks, the chairs have worked out really well 🙂
It is always best of go to family run businesses if you have specific requirements. The staff in ‘national’ stores are never well trained and seem to have not interest in their jobs at all. I often go to Greymont to shop for furniture but I have very exotic taste. Nice biscuit recipe.
I shall have to look at what Greymont stocks 🙂
anzac biscuits are so iconic here. i really only eat them on Anzac Day! but they are fabulous. I made heaps for the anzac day celebrations last year – not that it’s a celebration really but you know what i mean 🙂 Yours look good.
I think it is great to make them on a day that honours the men who lost their lives!
They certainly look the part and I am sure they tasted delicious too!
Thank you Marg 🙂
I never can resist some chewy and nutty oats in a good cookie 🙂 These look good!
Thank you so much Ben 🙂
