Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 pound (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple extract
  • 2 3/4 ounces (1 cup) walnuts, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Have ready 2 baking sheets lined with parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk the oatmeal, coconut, flour, salt, and sugar. Set aside.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, maple syrup, and golden syrup. Heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the baking soda with the boiling water. Immediately stir this mixture into the melted butter until combined. Add the maple extract; stir into the oat mixture. Fold in walnuts.

Form balls, using 3 tablespoons of dough, and place about 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets, 6 to a sheet. Flatten each of the balls slightly.

Bake until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes, rotating halfway through. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

                Worst Martha Stewart cookie recipe, that I've ever tried. Very disappointed. The texture very crumbly, dry.

                These are pretty dang good. I used all maple syrup instead of golden syrup, toasted pecans in place of walnuts and sweetened coconut for the unsweetened. The result was a chewy cookie with a crisp crust. The pecans and maple create the best smell in the oven.

                I'm Australian and these cookies are a version of our Anzac biscuits- golden syrup is a very British ingredient and also common here. It is sweeter than corn syrup but not as sweet as honey. Golden syrup has a slightly caramelized flavour and is thicker than maple syrup. It's MUCH cheaper than maple syrup here!

                The recipe for gluten free flour substitute is: 2 cups rice flour, 1 1/3 cups potato flour (not potato starch), 2/3 cup tapioca flour.  This works in most recipes.  I make up large batches to keep in a canister.

                I'm not crazy about the texture of coconut in cookies. Could I just omit it entirely and increase oats by 3/4 cup?

                Beehive Corn Syrup is golden syrup. Isn't it available everywhere? We've always used that on pancakes rather than runny old pancake syrup.

                Golden Syrup is found near the pancake syrup or Karo syrup.  Big Box chains (Wal Mart etc..) almost always have a larger selection of those types of products because they replace things in old fashioned recipes.  It is actually cheaper than maple syrup.  They also sell the brand name Watkins and they generally have a large selection of high end extracts.

                I have never seen or heard of golden syrrup.  I would imagine it is more expensive.  Will have to look for it.

                For Ann Rock who asked about gluten free recipes: Children's Hosp. in Columbus, OH has an informative celiac conference every year with lots of vendors and samples.  Also,   nearlynormalcooking@gmail.com   has gluten free flour that can be substituted cup for cup in any recipe.  I'm interested in these recipes because now I can bake them and eat them, too.

                Yes Keba, the most available brand of golden syrup is Lyle's. I have never used this myself, but I looked up the definition in my food dictionary. Also known as light treacle, this liquid sweetener has the consistency of corn syrup and a clear golden colour. It is made from evaporated sugar cane juice and has a rich toasty flavour unmatched by any other sweetener.

                Golden syrup most likely refers to Lyles"s Golden Syrup found in grocery stores that carry a wide variety of items.

                Why can't we just use a total of 5 Tbsp Maple Syrup?  I have the real thing and find that in other recipes 3 Tbsp of Maple Syrup doesn't provide a full Maple flavor.

                you can try substituting it with 2 parts light corn syrup and 1 part molasses or equal parts of honey and light corn syrup.
