Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 25m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

100 g apricots
150 g butter
2 tablespoons syrup
175 g sugar
100 g self-raising flour
75 g desiccated coconut
75 g oats

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Cut the apricots into raisin-sized pieces.
  • Heat the butter, golden syrup and caster sugar in a pan, stirring, until the butter melts and the sugar starts to dissolve, but don't let the mixture boil. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
  • Stir in the flour, coconut, oats, and apricots. Place level tbsps of the mixture onto baking trays, leaving room between each one to spread. You'll get about 8 on most trays, so you'll need to cook them in batches.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they start to turn golden at the edges. Leave on the tray to cool for 5 minutes - this will help them firm up as they'll be very soft when they come out of the oven. Remove to a wire tray and continue to cook the rest of the dough.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscuits rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
