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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter with the golden syrup and water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and combined.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the baking soda, stirring quickly. The mixture will bubble up significantly.
Step 5
Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well until a firm dough is formed.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Gently press the balls down with the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the trays for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the ANZAC cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
