I love to make this cookies even before I have the thermomix simply because this cookies do not need a mixer nor require to soften the butter, I like to be able to go bake the cookies at the spur of the moment without having to take the butter out of the fridge and wait for it to soften at room temperature, yawning!
My son learn about this cookies on our family trip to Australia/NZ some years ago, the hotel has a big jar of Anzac cookies(I thought was house made) on its counter and Nicholas taken some and eventually finished the whole jar by the second day, he forced me to ask for a refill and I thought I might as well ask for a recipe, the hotel manager was so kind that he gave us the entire bag of unopen store bought anzac cookies (instead of the recipe), my son make sure none of us open the pack until we reached home. I googled up the recipe and never stopped making them since! Now it is even easier with my thermy as I can melt the butter all in the same bowl!
