Ingredients

125 gram butter, softened

3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon golden syrup or treacle

2 eggs

2 cup self-raising flour

1 cup desiccated coconut

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

Milk chocolate ganache

185 gram milk eating chocolate, chopped coarsley

30 gram butter

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease oven trays; line with baking paper.

2.Beat butter, sugar and syrup in small bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in sifted flour, coconut and oats.

3.Roll rounded teaspoons of mixture into balls; place about 5cm (2 inches) apart on trays. Flatten with fork. Bake about 12 minutes; cool on trays.

4.Meanwhile, make milk chocolate ganache: Stir chocolate and butter in small heatproof bowl over small saucepan of simmering water until smooth; cool until spreadable.

5.Sandwich biscuits with ganache; refrigerate until firm.

Quick-cooking oats are thinner than rolled oats, so they absorb more liquid and cook faster. Store finished biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
