Crunchie Cookies
Are your kids nagging you for a snack all the time? Do you feel guilty when you feed them unhealthy snacks? You don’t? Neither do I! But here is a relatively healthy recipe for crunchie cookies that you can feed the kids and husband in your life. Or just yourself. More for you then, right?! Enjoy!
Equipment
- baking sheet
- spatula
- measuring cup
- wooden spoon
- baking paper
- cooking spray
Ingredients
- 1.5 c shredded coconut
- 0.5 c cake flour
- 2 c oats no instant oats
- 0.5 c sugar white or brown
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 0.5 c butter 140 g
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 0.25 c milk full cream
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Instructions
- Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the milk and set it aside.
- Add all the dry ingredients together (coconut, flour, oats, sugar, salt, cinnamon).
- Heat the butter and the syrup on the stove or in the microwave until it is melted and starts to simmer.
- Add the milk and bicarbonate of soda mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Add the butter and golden syrup mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Mix well with a silicone spatula or with your hands. The mixture is very dry but should hold together if you squeeze it. If not, add a little bit of milk.
- Spray a medium-sized baking tray with cooking spray and then line it with baking paper.
- Bake it for about 20 minutes at 180°C/350°F. Each oven differs, so be sure to check after 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes I cut my cookies already and then I put it back again for another 10 minutes. The longer you bake these, the crunchier they get. If you like a softer cookie, you can test them after 10 minutes or so.
Notes
Remember, these cookies harden as they cool.
