        Anzac biscuits (cookies) are 
       crunchy and economical. They are an Australian favorite. Anzac 
       biscuits were created during World War I when there were egg 
       shortages. Australians sent them in food parcels to the troops who 
       became famous as Anzacs (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) . The 
       coconut is available from health or Asian food stores.
      
         1 cup Quaker Oats
      
         3/4 cup unsweetened 
       desiccated coconut
      
         2 tbsp boiling water
      
         4 oz butter
      
         1 cup all purpose flour
      
         1 cup sugar
      
         1/2 tsp baking soda

       Preheat oven to 300° F. 
       Lightly grease baking trays. Combine oats, coconut, flour and sugar. 
       Combine butter and syrup in saucepan and stir over low heat until 
       butter melts. Mix soda with boiling water; add to melted butter 
       mixture. Stir into dry ingredients. Drop teaspoonfuls onto baking 
       trays and press with fork. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
