Chocolate Anzac Biscuits

I got this recipe from the Sunday Magazine in the Herald sun by Donna Hay. I wanted to take a picture, but they were gone by the time I got the camera out! A yummy addition to the great Aussie favorite!

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C Place the oats, flour sugar and coconut in a bowl and stir to combine; set aside.
2. Place the butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir until melted and combined. Place the water and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl, stir to combine and add the butter mixture. Pour the butter mixture in with the oats mixture and stir until well combined.
3. Place tablespoons of the mixture onto baking trays lined with baking paper, allowing room for spreading. Flatten slightly and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden in colour.
