Nig-Nags

"These are beautiful little coconut-y flapjack type biscuits. This recipe is originally from the 1981 Essex Women's Institute recipe book. I have very fond memories of my best friend and I making these in her kitchen when we were young, getting flour and grubby little fingerprints all over the page! Amazing. NB. These will spread like crazy in the oven, so don't worry if they turn out looking like crazy splodges of baked goodness, or squares. Leave a good bit of space between each 'walnut' to allow for spread."
