Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup together, stirring frequently, until fully combined.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the boiling water. Immediately stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam up slightly—this is normal.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to stir everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each ball to allow for spreading.
Step 7
Gently press each ball down with the back of a fork to flatten slightly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the ANZAC biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
