Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet in oven, stirring often, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Stir together flour, granulated sugar, coconut, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a stiff dough (about 5 tablespoons water total). Form the dough into a rectangle. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Cut dough into 40 small rectangles (about 1 1/4-by-2 1/2 inches each) using a sharp knife. Transfer biscuits to parchment-lined baking sheets using a thin spatula. Lightly brush tops with water. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until biscuits just turn golden brown, about 11 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Cut the apricots into raisin-sized pieces.
- Heat the butter, golden syrup and caster sugar in a pan, stirring, until the butter melts and the sugar starts to dissolve, but don't let the mixture boil. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
- Stir in the flour, coconut, oats, and apricots. Place level tbsps of the mixture onto baking trays, leaving room between each one to spread. You'll get about 8 on most trays, so you'll need to cook them in batches.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they start to turn golden at the edges. Leave on the tray to cool for 5 minutes - this will help them firm up as they'll be very soft when they come out of the oven. Remove to a wire tray and continue to cook the rest of the dough.
