Chewy Anzac Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 320° F (285° F for convection ovens). Line a baking tray with parchment.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, sugar, and coconut. Set aside.
3. 3
   Place butter, syrup, and cold water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the butter has melted, and then add the baking soda and mix into well combined.
4. 4
   Pour the butter and syrup mixture into the oat mixture and combine well. Fill a tablespoon with cookie dough, level it off, and then form the scoops into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart, using the back of a spoon to flatten each slightly.
5. 5
   Place on a low rack of your oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until lightly golden. (Bake for 14 to 15 minutes if you prefer a crunchier biscuit.) Remove from heat and transfer to a wire rack. Let stand for 5 minutes to cool completely, then serve.
