My Anzac Biscuits

Based on an old recipe from a packet of oats, I've finally gotten to the point where I can make these perfectly. Keep an eye on them as they cook- I cook them two sheets at a time with the fan on (bake 20 degrees less when using the fan), but everyone's oven is different so be careful. Take them out when they are a uniform colour.
