Ingredients

2 cups quick cooking oats
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sliced almonds
1 cup white sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 tablespoons boiling water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, almonds and sugar. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. When butter has melted, remove from heat and stir in baking soda, golden syrup and boiling water. Stir the warm mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
