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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
Step 6
Roll tablespoon-sized amounts of dough into balls and place them on the lined baking trays, allowing space for spreading.
Step 7
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
