Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I. It is thought that these biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients would not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during transportation.
Anzac biscuits have a general exemption under Australian law to use the strictly protected word "Anzac" in their name so long as they are sold as "biscuits" and not "cookies"(Wikipedia)
