Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of all dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup together, stirring occasionally, until smooth and completely melted. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. This will cause a slight fizzing reaction.
Add the dissolved baking soda and water mixture to the butter and golden syrup mixture, stirring quickly to combine. The mixture will foam slightly.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and a dough begins to form.
Using your hands or a tablespoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit to allow for spreading during baking.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Soy-Free Anzac Biscuits in an airtight container for up to one week.
