The story goes, that a customer of Neiman Marcus (a very expensive shop in New York) bought the recipe for this cookie in the restaurant of this shop, thinking he paid $2.50. He was shocked when he found out that he was charged for $250 afterwards and decided therefore, that for such a price he might as well share the recipe with the whole world. True or not, this page tries to contribute to that target.
Anzac biscuits are the national cookies of Australia and date back from the first world war.
