Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup desiccated coconut, 1 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 tsp baking soda. Stir to mix evenly.
  3. Step 3: In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup golden syrup and 2 tbsp boiling water until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Step 5: Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly with the back of the spoon.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still chewy.
  7. Step 7: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
