Anzac Cookies

My husband and I have recently moved from Canada to Australia, so it has been a while without being able to update the site.  Thank you for being patient.  To mark this occasion of my first post since moving to Australia, I've posted a recipe for Anzac Cookies which is a common cookie here.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup flour (plain or all-purpose)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tbsp corn syrup (golden syrup)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 320F (160C).
2. Sift flour in mixing bowl.  Add oats, coconut and brown sugar.  Mix together.
3. Place butter, syrup and water in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir constantly until melted.  Remove from heat.  Add baking soda.
4. Pour butter mixture over flour mixture and stir until combined.
5. Roll a tbsp of batter into a ball and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Flatten with a fork.
6. Bake for 10 minutes.  Let cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
