Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 1 tablespoon golden syrup
• 2 tablespoons boiling water
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 cup dry unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets. Mix quick oats, flour, coconut, brown sugar, and ginger in a bowl. With your fingers, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Dissolve the baking soda in boiling water. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, and stir in the golden syrup to combine. Pour in the dissolved baking soda, and pour the mixture into the well in the dry ingredients. Stir lightly until just combined; drop by rounded tablespoon about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
