Oat Coconut Cookies (Anzac Biscuits)

These golden discs are anzac biscuits. I discovered them in Australia.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
They taste like a crunchy oats, browned butter, and toasted coconut. I tried skipping the golden syrup and using maple syrup and honey instead. They tasted like a nature valley bar, they were so vile. Don’t skip the golden syrup if you want that real anzac biscuit flavor. Good luck

Don’t skip the golden syrup!

Serving Suggestion:

Biscuits + yogurt
Biscuits + coffee
Biscuits crumbled into oatmeal 🙂

Ingredients

1 cup ap flour⁠⁠
1.5 cup rolled oats⁠⁠
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut⁠⁠ (don’t use the coconut flakes i did if you can help it, they’re a bit too big.)
1/2 cup brown sugar⁠⁠
1 tsp baking soda⁠⁠
1 stick salted butter (if using unsalted, add 1/4 tsp salt)⁠⁠
2 tbs water
1/4 cup golden syrup (a must)⁠⁠

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F⁠⁠
Whisk together flour, oats, coconut, brown sugar, and baking soda in a large bowl⁠⁠
Melt butter and golden syrup together in a small saucepan⁠⁠. Add water
Pour butter mixture over dry ingredients , it’s okay if the butter mixture is warm. The dough will be sticky. Forming balls with wet hands will help.
Form into ~9 flattened balls and bake for 12-14 minutes until deep golden brown. (longer for crispy cookie)⁠⁠

⁠⁠*** full disclosure i kind of burnt these and experimented with whole wheat flour (not good), which is why they’re so dark. Yours will be golden and better
