This is the kiwi version of this. The Edmonds top 20. These biscuits were baked during the first world war for the soldiers. There are no eggs in these biscuits and use ingredients we usually have in the pantry. Golden syrup can be replaced by treacle.

Yield makes about 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons Lyle's Golden Syrup
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons boiling water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, coconut, and salt.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with syrup. Dissolve baking soda in boiling water, and add to butter mixture. Stir to combine. (Be careful; it will bubble up considerably.)
  • Add butter mixture to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice-cream scoop or rounded tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Flatten with the heel of your hand.
  • Bake until golden brown and firm but not hard, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
