Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Place butter, lemon rind, rosemary and sugar into a medium mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Stir in flour, walnuts, coconut, rolled oats, raisins and milk. Mix to a soft dough. Cover bowl with plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into an even log/sausage shape about 24 cm long. Wrap in plastic, place on a tray and refrigerate for a further 15 minutes.
Using a floured knife, slice dough into 24 rounds. Reshape each cookie into a round if necessary and place onto lined baking trays.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool on trays.
