Ingredients
* 1 litre good quality ice cream, softened
* 1 teaspoon ground wattleseed (or cinnamon)
* 1 cup plain flour, sifted
* 1 cup rolled oats
* 1 cup desiccated coconut
* 3/4 cup brown sugar
* 125g butter, chopped
* 2 tablespoons golden syrup
* 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
* 2 tablespoons water
Method

Combine softened ice cream and wattleseed and re freeze until required.

Place flour, oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl.

Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan and stir over low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Combine bicarbonate of soda and water in a small bowl and stir into golden syrup mixture. Add immediately to flour mixture and stir until well combined.

Roll mixture into 12 balls and place onto paper lined baking trays, allowing room for spreading.

Bake at 180C for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Allow biscuits to cool completely on trays.

Sandwich each biscuit together with a scoop of wattleseed ice cream and a second biscuit, before serving.

TIP
Biscuits will keep for 3 days in an airtight container

What a waste of ice-cream ... Just eat the biscuits!
I give you a challenge - add the 3rd choice of 'who cares?' to your green poll and see what sort of numbers you get.

I agree with the cookies v. biscuits comments. I don't think you can get a more iconic Australian BISCUIT (thank you) than the ANZAC (the A is for Australia after all), consequently I think there is something highly sacrilegious in calling them cookies (America and New Zealand Army Corps cookies maybe) stop changing our dialect so that we can be Americans in apprenticeship.
