Anzac Biscuits (Australian cookies)

Recipe courtesy of Allison711

• 1 cup regular oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup stick margarine or butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons golden cane syrup (such as Lyle's) or light-colored corn syrup
• Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 325°.
Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Add water, margarine, and syrup; stir
well. Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated
with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 12 minutes or until almost set. Remove
from oven; let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Remove from pans; cool
completely on wire racks.

Note: We found these cookies were much better when made with golden cane
syrup. Cane syrup is thicker and sweeter than corn syrup and can be foud in
supermarkets, in cans, next to the jellies and syrups or in stores
specializing in Caribbean and Creole cookery.
