Many myths surround the origin of the ANZAC Biscuits. It has been reported that these biscuits were made by Australian and New Zealand women for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers during World War I and were reputedly first called "Soldiers' Biscuits" then renamed "ANZAC Biscuits" after the Gallipoli landing. The recipe was reportedly created to ensure the biscuits would keep well during naval transportation to loved ones who were fighting overseas. However, those biscuits were shaped more like rock cakes and were made from entirely different ingredients.

Research carried out by Professor Helen Leach, a culinary anthropologist at Otago University in New Zealand, revealed that the first time the name "ANZAC" appeared in the name of the biscuit in a recipe book was in 1921. That occurred in the renaming of the "oatmeal biscuit" recipe to "ANZAC crispies", in the ninth edition of the St Andrew's Cookery Book. Subsequent editions renamed this to be "ANZAC Biscuits".


Exactly the same recipe was included in contemporary recipe books as "rolled oats biscuits", (and none of these recipes included coconut - not until 1927). The oatmeal or rolled oats biscuits were developed in the Scottish-influenced city of Dunedin as a variation of Scottish oat cakes.

Today, the ANZAC Biscuits are manufactured commercially for retail sale because of their military connection with the ANZACs and ANZAC Day. These biscuits are often used as a fundraising item for the RSA and the RSL veterans organisations.
