Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 90 grams Rolled oats
• 80 grams Desiccated coconut
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Boiling water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut, sugar, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the golden syrup and stir until combined.

Step 4

Mix the baking soda and boiling water in a small bowl until the baking soda dissolves. Add this mixture to the melted butter and syrup. It will bubble slightly.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, scoop small portions of the dough and shape them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2-3 cm (1 inch) of space between each ball.

Step 7

Gently press down on each ball with the back of a fork to flatten them slightly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the trays from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
