How to Make Date And Ginger Oat Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup shredded coconut, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup chopped pitted dates (or ½ cup diced apricots), and 2 teaspoons ground ginger.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ¼ cup golden syrup, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and ingredients are combined.
  4. Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each ball with a fork.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
