Apricot, sesame and cranberry biscuits

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

Step 2

Place the butter, sugar, golden syrup and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until the butter melts. Remove from heat. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 3

Combine the oats, flour and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Add the butter mixture, apricots and craisins, and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls. Place, 5cm apart, on the lined trays. Use a fork to flatten slightly. Bake in oven for 8 minutes or until light golden. Set aside on the trays for 5 minutes to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
