These biscuits are a family favourite and I find they don't last long, so you may want to double the mixture! - Ang71

Ingredients

100 g butter
1/4 cup golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup plain flour
1 cup roasted peanuts chopped
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbs water warmed

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 170C or 160C fan forced with a rack in the middle of the oven.
Step 2

Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 3

Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the golden syrup, take the pot off the heat and stir until butter and syrup are blended.
Step 4

Stir in vanilla, nuts, sugar, oats, coconut and flour to the saucepan. Mix baking soda and water.
Step 5

Add to the mixture and stir well. If the mixture seems too crumbly to mix, add 1-2 tablespoons of extra water.
Step 6

Roll into small balls and place on the baking paper leaving plenty of room for spreading.
Step 7

Bake for about 15 minutes, until the biscuits are evenly golden brown.
Step 8

Lift the warm biscuits onto a cooling rack. When cold store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

These are also nice dipped in chocolate. I melt 200 g milk chocolate finely chopped and 2/3 cup of cream in a small saucepan and stir over low heat until chocolate has melted and an even chocolate sauce is formed. When the biscuits are cooled, dip 1/2 of the biscuits in the sauce and place in the fridge to set.
