Slightly chewy Anzac biscuits!

This recipe is very close to the traditional version we love, but with slightly higher amounts of coconut, golden syrup and butter...the result is more chewy, just how I like my chocolate chip
cookies!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups (110g) rolled oats
• 1 1/4 cups (110g) desiccated coconut
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1/4 cup golden syrup 
• 3/4 cup raw sugar
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

Method

1. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees c. Combine the oats, coconut, flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Place the butter, golden syrup and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until butter melts. Bring to simmer and cook for a further 1 - 2 minutes until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cool slightly, then add the bicarbonate soda and 1 tablespoon water. Stir to combine, the pour over the oat mixture.
3. Using a wooden spoon, combine butter and oat mixture. Use a tbsp mixture and roll into 24 equal-sized balls. Divide between two baking paper lined baking trays, leaving 3 cm between each.
4. Flatten biscuits slightly, then bake for 10 - 12 minutes until the top tray is slightly golden. Swap trays and cook for a further 6 to 8 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy with a cuppa!
