Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup plain all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are well blended.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter gently with the golden syrup, stirring the mixture until well combined.
Step 4
In a small cup or bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the water, and then add this to the melted butter and syrup mixture. It will froth up slightly.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until the two are fully incorporated and form a cohesive dough.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, scoop small portions of the dough and shape them into balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheets, leaving adequate space between each ball to allow for spreading.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball with your fingertips to form discs.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are a light golden brown.
Step 9
Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
