Growing up in New Zealand Hokey Pokey biscuits were a staple in our household. It is a simple recipe and one of the first recipes I remember attempting to bake as a child. Hokey Pokey is a New Zealand favourite especially Hokey Pokey Ice-cream. This is the Edmonds cookbook recipe. A nice addition is the sugar crystals on the outside but also nice with chocolate chunks added.
