Preheat your oven to 160Β°C (320Β°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir well to ensure an even mix.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and golden syrup together, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water, then add this mixture to the butter and syrup in the saucepan. Be cautious, as it will foam slightly.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop up portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon to form a disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Rotate trays halfway through for even baking.
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
