Heat the oven to 180ºC ( 350ºF).

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Melt the butter.  Stir in the golden syrup.

Add the baking soda to the boiling water and stir.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.

Form balls of mixture about the size of a walnut and place them on a cookie try lined with parchment paper.  Squash them with a fork.  If they fall apart, just squish them back together.

Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown. Leave for a few minutes on the tray to set before transfering them to a wire rack to cool.
