Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Cookie tray
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small saucepan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp filtered water boiling
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup rolled oats

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup. Dissolve the baking soda with hot water in a small bowl and add it to the butter and golden syrup. Make sure the mixture doesn't boil.
    1/2 cup butter, 2 tbsp golden syrup, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tbsp filtered water
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, desiccated coconut, and rolled oats.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup desiccated coconut, 1 cup rolled oats
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is well combined. Shape the dough into a large ball.
  • Cover the bowl with a tea towel and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and form 12 balls. Place them onto the tray and space them out well.
  • Bake for 12 minutes and remove the biscuits from the oven. If you bake them longer, the biscuits will be crunchy instead of chewy.
  • Let them cool and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to chill the dough, don't skip this step. By cooling down the dough, the biscuits will hold their shape during baking and get their chewy texture.
