Tess, one of our lovely funkies shared this recipe that her Mum's friend made her and had seen it in a magazine. Tess asked if I could convert it for the thermomix. Well it was an absolute pleasure to do this! The bonus was that these Thermomix macadamia anzac biscuits are AMAZINGLY delicious!!!!!
These biscuits will become a very strong family favourite! So I would suggest making sure you do a double batch and put some in the freezer! Imagine a subway macadamia cookie and an Anzac biscuit getting married and having babies... lol... enjoy!
Tess said: "Our friend uses roasted cashew nuts instead of macadamias and uses half the amount of apricots and adds glazed ginger also."
