ANZAC COOKIES

Preparation Time – 10 minutes

Baking Time – 20 minutes

Makes 16

 

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour

1 cup dessicated coconut

1 cup rolled oats

2/3 cup brown sugar

125g butter

1 tablespoon golden syrup

1 tablespoon honey 

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1 tablespoon boiling water

 

Method

Preheat oven to 170C. Grease and line a cookie sheet with baking paper.

 

Place flour, coconut, oats and sugar in a bowl. Mix well. Place butter, golden syrup and honey in a saucepan over low heat until butter melt. Combine bicarbonate of soda and boiling water in a small bowl and add this to the butter mixture. Stir. Pour over oat mixture and bring all ingredients together.

 

Roll tablespoonfuls of cookie dough into balls and place on the cookie sheet, leaving at least 4cm around each cookie to allow it to spread. Flatten each cookie gently with the tip of your fingers.

 

Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until cookies are golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven, cool slightly on tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Don’t overbake them as they won’t be chewy in the middle if overbaked. The cookies continue to cook even after you remove them from the oven.
