In a mixing bowl, combine oats, coconut and sugar

Use a cookie scoop to spoon biscuit batter onto baking tray Note 4
Bake for 10 -12 mins until golden brown Note 5
Transfer to a wire rack for a couple of minutes to cool Note 6

Note 1 choose quick oats over any other type if you have the choice. If the only choice you have is 'rolled oats', get those and they will be perfect.
Note 2 use plain white sugar, not caster sugar. That is a bit too fancy for a good old fashion biscuit recipe.
Note 3 Also known as bi-carb soda.
Note 4 If you want really hard crunchy biscuits, don't use a cookie scoop. Use your two hands, grab a portion of the batter out, roll into a ball, place on the baking tray, then press down with your finger tips. If you want chewy biscuits with a soft center, use a cookie scoop, spoon the batter onto the baking tray and gently press to flatten slightly.
Note 5 If you are doing the chewy biscuit technique, the biscuits will still be soft in the middle when lightly touched with the tip of a finger
Note 6 to store, place in an air tight sealed container
