Makes: 28
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10-12 mins
Skill level: easy

INGREDIENTS

125 g butter
¼ cup golden syrup
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp hot water
½ cup plain flour
½ cup sugar
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup rolled oats

METHOD

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
Melt butter and golden syrup in a saucepan large enough to hold all the ingredients.
Remove from the heat. Dissolve baking soda in hot water and mix into the melted ingredients. In a separate bowl mix flour, sugar, coconut and oats together until combined.
Mix into the butter mixture until well combined.
Using a measuring tablespoon, take spoonfuls of the mixture and place on an oven tray
lined with baking paper. Press with a fork to flatten – allow room for spreading.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden. Leave on the oven tray to cool and firm up before moving to a cooling rack.
