Ingredients
- 500 ml oats
- 250 ml desiccated coconut
- 250 ml flour, sifted
- 180 ml castor sugar (see tip)
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Pinch of salt
- 5 ml ground cinnamon
- 200 g butter, melted
- 30 ml honey
- 5 ml lemon juice
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160C and lightly grease two baking trays with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix the oats, coconut, flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cinnamon together. Make a well in the centre of the mixture.
- In a jug, mix the melted butter, honey and lemon juice together. Pour this into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Tip the mixture into a lightly floured work surface and flatten. Cut out two different sizes of heart shapes and place on a baking tray.
- Place the small sized cookies in one tray and the bigger ones on another. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size, or until golden in colour. Using a pallet knife, gently remove the cookies from the baking tray while still warm and place on a cooling rack to cool completely, allowing them to crisp.
- Place in an airtight jar, tie with a ribbon, and share with a loved one!
