Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan forced)

Step 2

Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Step 3

Mix dry: Mix flour, oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl.

Step 4

Melt butter and golden syrup: Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium high heat and stir until butter has melted.

Step 5

Baking soda: Add baking soda and stir to combine - it will fizz up, this is normal. Immediately remove from heat.

Step 6

Biscuit dough - Pour butter mixture into flour and mix until just combined. The mixture will be crumbly but should stick when you press together.

Step 7

Form patties - Scrunch / press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into balls, then flatten into patties. (Thinner = crisper, thicker = chewier centre, crispy edges) Place balls, 2.5 cm/1" apart, on prepared trays.

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes, swapping trays halfway during cooking, or until deep golden. (Bake 12 min for chewy biscuits!)

Step 9

Cool to crisp - Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool - they harden as they cool!
