    2 tbsp butter
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease and line baking pans with parchment paper.
    Beat butter, sugar and syrup in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in sifted flour, and coconut and oats.
    Roll rounded teaspoons of mixture into balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared pans; flatten with the palm of your hand until 1 1/2-inch round. Using a flour-dusted fork, mark cookies. Bake 12 mins. Cool in pans 2 mins. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire rack.
    Meanwhile, for the chocolate ganache filling, stir chocolate and butter in a small heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water until smooth (don't let water touch bottom of bowl). Cool ganache until spreadable.
    Sandwich two cookies with 2 tsp ganache. Let stand until filling is firm.
