No golden syrup and want to make Anzac bikkies

Can I leave it out or will I need to substitute?

okey pokey, guess neither of the above are options..

Do you have molasses?

Ahh nah, I have honey.

If you use honey, add extra sugar (brown).

Oh cool.So how much brown sugar should I add?Here is the recipe I am gonna use,I found it on here:

For 35 - 50 biscuits:

Ingredients
100g butter
¼ cup golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla
a few drops of almond essence, optional
1 cup sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup desiccated coconut or extra rolled oats
1 cup standard plain flour
½ tsp baking soda dissolved in 2 Tbsp warm water
Method
Heat oven to 170 C or 160 C Fanbake, with a rack in the centre of the oven. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Use measuring cups and level measures for good results.

Heat the butter until melted, in a fairly large microwave-proof bowl, or in a fairly large pot on the stove. Add the golden syrup and essence(s) and stir until combined. Mix well.

Add everything else in the order given, stirring between additions.

For large biscuits shape level measuring spoons of mixture. For smaller biscuits roll smaller balls, then flatten them.

Allow space between biscuits for baking. (When the first tray is filled, put it in to cook while you shape the remaining biscuits on another piece of baking paper.)

Bake biscuits for 15 minutes or until evenly golden brown.

Cool on a rack until cold and firm, then store in airtight containers.

wikstarr, I suggest that you use ¼ cup honey instead of the ¼ cup golden syrup and then instead of 1 cup white sugar, use 1 cup brown sugar - the biscuits won't be exactly the same as those made as per the above recipe but they'll be your own special version and IMO should be very acceptable.

Hope that helps.:-))
