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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the baking soda. The mixture will froth up slightly, which is normal.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Lightly press the tops of each ball with the back of a fork to flatten slightly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your gluten-free ANZAC cookies with a cup of tea or as a standalone treat!
