By Love2cook_

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 stick butter
• 1 T light corn syrup
• 2 T boiling water
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven 300 - line cookie sheet with parchment paper for even browning and easy clean up.
In large bowl stir together oats, flour, sugar, coconut, and salt. Meanwhile melt butter and syrup together in a small pot over low heat. Stir the soda in the water and add to butter mixture. Pour all over dry ingredients and stir well. Mixture will be semi-dry. Press together balls about 2 tsps. and drop onto cookie sheet leaving plenty of space to allow for spreading.
Bake 5 mins and then press slightly down using a fork, bake for a total of 16-18 mins switching the pan half way thru cooking for even baking.(keep an eye on them, they brown quickly). They should be quite brown on the edges. Leave on cookie sheet to cool for 3-4 mins before removing them onto rack to completely cool.
