A delicious sweet biscuit made from butter, sugar, oats, and desiccated coconut. A favourite in Australia and New Zealand.

Ingredients

• 120 g (4.2 oz) butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 160 °C (320 °F).
2. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.

8. Place on the baking tray, leaving ~1–2 finger widths between each one.
