Source: The Family Meal

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour

2/3 cup sugar ( I used 1/4 cup light brown sugar )

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 tbsp light corn syrup

1 egg ( I used small egg C )

1 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp boiling water 

Method:

Preheat the oven to 325F / 163C.

Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray well with spray oil.

Sift the flour into a large bowl.

Stir in the sugar, oats, coconut and raisins.

Make a well in the center.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and syrup over low heat.

In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in boiling water, stir immediately into the melted butter.

Pour the butter mixture into the well in the flour mixture.

With a fork, mix thoroughly.

Mix in the egg until well incorporated.

Drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.

Bake until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes.

Cool a few minutes on the sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
