Apple and coconut cookies

[Brumington]

This recipe has been adapted from a book called Marks & Spencer Baby & Toddler Meal Planner. Even though I have put it in the baby section the biscuits are nice for the whole family.

115g unsalted butter
85g caster sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
2 eating apples cored
115g wholemeal self raising flour
3 tbsp desiccated coconut (I weighed in 60g)
115g porridge oats


1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.  
2. Grate the apple on speed 4 for 10 seconds and remove from bowl.
3. Melt butter, sugar and syrup at 60 degrees 2 mins/speed 2.
4. Add oats, flour, grated apple and coconut to bowl.  Mix reverse speed 2 until combined (I mixed for 30 seconds).
5. Spoon onto a lined tray and bake in the oven for 15 mins. Mine made 24 biscuits.

They are a really nice biscuit similar in style to an Anzac biscuit.

Amy - Fresh from the oven and smelling delicious. I used brown sugar instead of caster sugar because I didn't have any golden syrup to give that caramel-like flavour. I also used only 30g coconut. Definitely not just for kids, maybe we should put this recipe in the cakes section as well? Oh, and I got 24 biscuits from my mixture too. I love it when I get the same number that the recipe states.

These look really nice Brumington, I think I'll try them as soon as DB's birthday cake has been eaten!

These do sound good.  Will make them next weekend ready for school lunchboxes next term.
