Ingredients
| 120 | g | butter |
| 2 | tablespoons | golden syrup(40ml) |
| 92 | g | rolled oats(1 cup) |
| 85 | g | desiccated coconut(1 cup) |
| 150 | g | plain flour(1 cup) |
| 168 | g | caster sugar(3/4 cup) |
| 1 | tablespoon | boiling water(20ml) |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | bicarbonate of soda |
Method
1.Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius (140 degrees fan-forced).
2.Line one or two large baking trays with baking paper.
3.Place butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
4.Stir oats, coconut, flour and sugar together in a large bowl.
5.When butter has melted, combine soda and boiling water in a small bowl and stir into butter and golden syrup mixture.
6.Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
7.Roll level, firmly packed tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place about 5cm apart on the trays.
8.Slightly flatten the balls with a fork.
9.Bake for about 16-19 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown but still soft (a longer cooking time will produce a crisper, drier biscuit). If you don't have a fan-forced oven, and are baking two trays of biscuits at a time, swap the positions of the trays halfway through the baking time. This will allow the biscuits to cook more evenly. You may also need to extend the baking time by a few minutes.
10.Cool biscuits on trays or wire racks.
11.Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container.

Tips
These biscuits (cookies) have an oaty, golden syrup flavour. On the day of baking, they are crunchy on the outside. During storage they develop a softer texture.
