Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Plain flour
- 0.75 cup Desiccated coconut
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the golden syrup and unsalted butter. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in boiling water, then add to the melted butter mixture. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble and froth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
Roll tablespoon-sized amounts of dough into balls and place them on the lined baking trays, allowing space for spreading.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
