Anzacs
1 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup dessicated coconut (do you have any of that?)
3/4 cup caster sugar
140g butter
3tsp golden syrup
3 tblsp boiling water
1tsp baking/bicarb soda

Preheat oven to a slow 150deg

Sift the flour into a bowl, add the oats sugar and coconut

In a saucepan melt the butter then add the syrup and water. take off the heat and add the baking soda allow to foam and pour over the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix well.

take teaspoons of the mix and roll into a ball and place on a greased tray. Leave about 5cm between each one. press down slightly.

bake until golden (12-15mins) and keep and eye on them as they burn easily. allow to cool on the tray and transfer to a rack to cool completely and harden.

Choc chip cookies
250g butter
220g caster sugar
250g brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla essence
410g plain flour
1 tsp bicarb
3 tsp hot water
pinch salt
400g choc chips

preheat oven to 180deg

cream butter, sugars until smooth. beat in eggs one at a time then stir in vanilla.

dissolve bicarb in the hot water. add to the mix along wit the salt. stir in flour and choc chips. drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased trays. bake in a preheated oven for 10 mins until edges nicely browned for a soft, chewy cookie, or bake for 12 mins for a crunchier one. This will make 4 dozen quite large cookies. I have made 6 dozen by making them smaller.
