Golden Syrup Cookies
After making this amazing Golden Syrup Cake, I decided to make cookies using golden syrup, and they turned out AMAZING!
These cookies are super rich and have a superb texture. They are egg-free cookies and freezer-friendly; thus, you can batch them and then store them in the freezer until you are ready to eat or serve them once more.
Also, you don't have to use a mixer to make this cookie recipe! Simply use any wooden spoon to stir and combine ingredients, and the cookies will still come out perfectly good.
What's in This Recipe?
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Butter. It enrich the flavor of each bite from these cookies.
Sugar. I use caster sugar and light brown sugar, which allows these cookies to spread wider, ensuring a light texture for each cookie.
Golden Syrup. With their caramel toffee flavor, these cookies will indeed have the best taste.
Vanilla Extract. I add a few drops of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Flour. I use self raising flour.
Oats. I use quick oats, they provide a chewy texture and flavor to this recipe.
Baking Soda. It helps the self-rising flour to raise the batter.
Step-By-Step Instructions
One: Preheat the oven to 180c / 350f and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Two: In a saucepan, melt together butter, sugars, and golden syrup over low heat (stir frequently).
Three: Take off the heat and stir in vanilla extract, flour, oats, and baking soda.
Four: Spoon tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheet (leave space between them) and bake for 10 minutes until golden. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
Tip: You may get worried that your cookies are already golden brown in color yet the texture is still soft. Don't be, because they eventually firm up when they're out of the oven and cooling. This is why I recommend to leave the cookies for at least 5 minutes in a cooling rack before serving.
Serving Suggestions
I like to serve these cookies with a cup of coffee. You can also serve them with Greek Yogurt Smoothie, Oat Milk Hot Chocolate or Caramel Latte.
Storage
To store: Keep these cookies in a jar and place them at room temperature for up to five days.
Freeze: For longer shelf life, I keep the cookies in an airtight container before storing them in the freezer for up to three months.
