Handmade
in New Zealand

Here at Morri & Mac, New Zealand's favourite biscuits just happen to be ours. We celebrate our grandmothers, Mona and Rita, who lovingly made us these comforting biscuits, and preserve a touch of tradition by including them in our Morri & Mac Sampler Boxes.

Our Biscuits

Anzac

The ANZAC became associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps as the biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad. The Anzac biscuit made its first appearance in the St Andrews Cookery Book, Dunedin in 1921.

Shortbread

With Scottish history, New Zealanders have now embraced the shortbread as our own, with local grandmothers passing down their version from generation to generation.

Gingernut

The Gingernut has sat at the top of New Zealand's favourite biscuit list for over 150 years and was originally eaten for the calming effect the ginger would have on digestion when travelling by sea. Travelling has come a long way since then, but the Gingernut has remained timeless.

Chocolate Chip

Maybe New Zealanders could even claim the Chocolate Chip biscuit as our own. Its New Zealand origins come from the Highlander biscuit dating back to 1913, a result of the use of canned milks in the pioneer days. The chocolate chips were added to the recipe some years later.

Hokey Pokey

Hokey Pokey or golden syrup biscuits are without the extreme sweetness of the honeycomb toffee they were named after and make the perfect simple treat. The Hokey Pokey biscuit made its first appearance in the ubiquitous Edmonds Sure to Rise Cookbook in the late 1950’s.
