Melted biscuits
When I was young, my mother had us on a non-wheat non-sugar diet for reasons. So she made some sweet biscuits that were sugar-free (had honey or something in them instead of sugar - or something - not sugar-free i.e. simple carbs free, it was an allergy thing).

She forgets what she put in them or how she made them. I have no idea. But they melted across the tray, becoming flat and uniform, and when done they tasted like nothing I have ever eaten since. Any idea what the hell they were and how I can reproduce that melting/delicious effect?

Sounds a bit like a paleo version of Anzac biscuits. If not, please don't bite my head off, but here's the recipe I follow, although I don't recall where I obtained it originally;

Pre-heat oven to 150C

175g organic rolled oats

40g dessicated or flaked organic coconut

60g flaked or chopped almonds - or almond meal if preferred

2 1/2 tablespoons cold pressed olive, coconut or macadamia nut oil

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

1 tablespoon water

Mix it together in one big, gooey, mess, adding a little of the water if needed to help keep it together.

Form into balls, place on tray, then flatten with the back of a fork.

Chuck in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

*Note; Mine tend to come out very 'chewy', melty and more-ish, which is just the way I like them.
