1 cup regular oats
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; stir well. Add margarine, water, and syrup; stir well.
Drop by level tablespoons, 2" apart, onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325°F for 12 minutes or until almost set.
Remove from oven; let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Remove cookies from baking sheets. Place on wire racks; let cool completely.
Cooking Light Notes: Of Australian origin, these "biscuits" from Sandy Bennett of Waldport, Oregon, could possibly be the best cookies we've ever made. The cane syrup imparts a chewy, slightly sticky texture that gives them a wonderful richness.
We found these cookies were much better when made with golden cane syrup. Cane syrup is thicker and sweeter than corn syrup and can be found in cans next to the jellies and syrups, or in stores specializing in Caribbean and Creole goods.
