Yeah, I do.

Try this one:

ANZAC BISCUITS
4oz / 100g / 1/2 cup butter
1 Tablespoon golden syrup
2 Tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup coconut (use shredded unsweetened)
1 cup rolled oats
optional: *almonds, finely chopped

Melt butter and golden syrup together. *Remove from heat. *Add baking
soda dissolved in boiling water and mix well. *Add flour, sugar,
coconut, oats and almonds (if using). *Mix well to combine. *Place in
teaspoon quantities on a cold, greased baking tray and bake at 180C/350F
for 15-20 mins. *Leave on tray to harden for a few minutes before
removing, but don't leave them too long! *A knife slipped under each
biscuit will remove them easily.

Recipe from "Terrace Tested Recipes", 1927.

(The other thing to note is that if they're let overcook they go rock
hard. They're done when they're golden brown and no darker.)

BTW, golden syrup is available in the USA. I've heard some people say
that dark corn syrup can be substituted, but we can't get it here so I
can't say for sure. I'd use golden syrup if possible.
