Ingredients
225g unsalted butter, softened
150g light brown sugar
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
150g rolled oats
120g all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
200g milk or dark chocolate
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for chocolate melt)
Instructions
1. Cream the softened butter and light brown sugar in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy.
2. Mix in the golden syrup and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually stir the dry mix into the wet ingredients until a thick dough forms.
5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, flatten slightly, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 20 minutes to reduce spreading.
7. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and bake the cookies for 12–15 minutes until golden at the edges.
8. Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
9. Melt the chocolate (and optional coconut oil) in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
10. Spread a spoonful of melted chocolate on each cooled cookie, let it set at room temperature or refrigerate.
Notes
Toasting the oats before mixing adds an extra layer of nutty flavor.
Let cookies cool completely before topping with chocolate to avoid melting mess.
For a crunchier version, bake 2–3 minutes longer.
