This is another recipe from my Grandma’s recipe book. I have seen other recipes for Anzac biscuits and they have had coconut in them by this recipe is oats and cornflakes!
They are very easy to make and are pretty tasty too. I wasn’t sure what to expect from these cookies or even how they would look but these will definitely be a regular bake in our house.
I love trying my Grandma’s recipes out but as she was an experienced baker the methods are very basic so I have to use my skill and intuition to work out what I need to do but these worked out first time and I am very pleased with the outcome.

Roll the mixture into 15 balls and place on the baking trays and flatten slightly. You may need to do a few batches.
