Servings 14 cookies

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup self-raising flour, slightly heaped
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup currants
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients together by hand until well combined.
  • Place teaspoons of mixture on a greased tray and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake at 180 degrees celcius for 9-12 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown.

Notes

  • If you don't want the cookies to be as puffy but more crispy, swap the self-raising flour with plain flour.
  • The base recipe is with the coconut. You can swap out the sunflower seeds and currants with other ingredients. Here I added 1.5 cups of chopped apricots for a variation.
