How to Make Anzac Biscuits Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (150°C fan-forced). Line baking trays with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, and bicarbonate soda. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the caster sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, golden syrup, and boiling water until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the desiccated coconut.
  6. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of mixture onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each biscuit.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
  8. Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking trays before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
