Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter along with the golden syrup and water. Stir occasionally until the mixture is fully melted and combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the baking soda. The mixture will froth up slightly, which is normal.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands, roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading during baking.
Lightly press the tops of each ball with the back of a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your gluten-free ANZAC cookies with a cup of tea or as a standalone treat!
