Name: Anzac Biscuits (Modified)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 2-3 dozen
Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups oatmeal (I use slow cooking oatmeal, original recipe calls for rolled oats, but I think that is the same thin); 2 cups coconut (see description, I used sweetened, but original recipe calls for unsweetened); 1 1/2 cups flour; 3/4 cup sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup); 1/3 cup boiling water; 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda; 10 1/2 tablespoons butter, unsalted; 3 tablespoons maple syrup (I used pure maple syrup, original recipe calls for golden syrup which is not available where I live)

"I made these cookies to use up some ingredients - but made modifications. The original recipe called for unsweetened coconut (2 cups) - I had sweetened coconut which I used decreasing the sugar to 3/4 cup (original recipe was 1 cup sugar). Original recipe called for 3T golden syrup -- didn't have any so used 3 T maple syrup. I found the recipe on Facebook but it was submitted by Saveur Magazine. Below is my changed recipe which came out pretty good if you are a coconut fan. Want to try the recipe again as written without my modifications"

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
