Description

These little treats are ultra-thin, super delicious crispy crunchy lacy cookies, and of course sweet! 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup or 55 g butter
  • 1/3 cup or 55 g demerara / Light Brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons golden or corn syrup (I used Illovo traditional syrup)
  • 6 1/2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Shredded Coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C (fan assist 160C ) / 350F
  2. Line two baking trays with baking parchment.
  3. Add butter, sugar, and syrup into a small, heavy-based pan.
  4. Heat gently until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. This will take about 7 – 8 minutes over low heat.
  5. Don’t let the mixture boil as it may crystalize.
  6. Leave the mixture to cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes, then sieve in the flour.
  7. Pour in the lemon juice and stir to mix well.
  8. Drop four teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto each of the prepared baking trays to make neat circles, about 10 cm apart then sprinkle a small amount of coconut onto each drop.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, (10 mins may be sufficient) or until the mixture is well spread out, looks lacy, and is a dark golden color.
  10. Once baked, quickly remove them from the oven and sprinkle a very small amount of coconut over the cookies whilst they are still very hot.
  11. Leave them on the baking tray until they firm up and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  12. When they are completely cool, they will be brittle and can break easily, so be gentle with them.
