Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup desiccated coconut
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 0.25 cup neutral-flavored oil (like canola or vegetable oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
In a small heatproof bowl, combine the baking soda and boiling water. Stir to dissolve the baking soda completely.
Add the golden syrup, oil, and vanilla extract to the dissolved baking soda mixture, and stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix well until a dough forms. The mixture should be somewhat sticky yet firm.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and shape into small balls, approximately the size of a walnut. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious dairy-free ANZAC cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
