Anzac Biscuits with Macadamia Nuts

Anzac biscuits are a traditional Australian sweet biscuit, made with rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup, baking soda, and desiccated coconut. They were originally made by the wives and mothers of Australian and New Zealand soldiers during World War I, and sent to the soldiers as a long-lasting treat. The biscuits were named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) and have since become an iconic symbol of remembrance and national pride.
