Anzac Biscuits

I had the most amazing Anzac Biscuits living in Australia. I have tried to find a great recipe and failed many times. This one is pretty close to the ones I had Down Under.

Cooking Light, Annual Recipes 1998

1 cup regular oats (not quick-cooking)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup stick margarine, melted ( I used butter)
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons Golden cane syrup such as Lyle's or light-colored golden corn syrup. (I used 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup since it is hard to find golden cane syrup)
Vegetable cooking spray ( I used parchment paper)

Preheat oven to 325.

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

Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie)
