Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup sweetened flake coconut
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 125 grams butter 1 stick plus 1 Tbs – my original recipe says 125g
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
Get prepped
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Make the cookie dough
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, coconut, flour, and sugar.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together over a medium heat. When well blended, remove from heat.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and add to the butter mixture.
- Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together.
Scoop onto prepared baking sheet
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion out cookies, and roll into balls, placing on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart (they do spread).
- Flatten with the bottom of a glass (sprayed with baking spray to stop the cookies from sticking!). You can use a fork as well!
Bake cookies
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, cooking one sheet at a time.
- Cookies are done when the edges are brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Devour.

Notes
- Kylee's Notes for Authentic ANZAC Biscuits:
- These biscuits do not contain eggs on purpose. During the war - eggs were scarce, and it would have made them less stable when being sent overseas.
- Change out the coconut for unsweetened vs sweetened for a less... well, less SWEET cookie.
- Use old fashioned oats vs the quick cook kind I use here.
- Golden syrup can be found on Amazon, or in specialty stores. It's similar to honey and molasses (but not quite the same).
