How to Make Anzac Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Add ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and ¼ cup honey to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine.
  4. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup boiling water and the ½ teaspoon baking soda (from step 2). Add this mixture to the oat mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are crisp.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 30 seconds.
  8. Carefully loosen the cookies with a thin spatula and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. If cookies stick, return them to the oven for 1 minute, then loosen and transfer.
  10. Once cooled, store the Anzac cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
