Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter with the golden syrup and water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the baking soda, stirring quickly. The mixture will bubble up significantly.
Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well until a firm dough is formed.
Using your hands, roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place them on the prepared baking trays, allowing about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently press the balls down with the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the trays for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the ANZAC cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
