Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 100 grams butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Fold in the desiccated coconut until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing at a low speed until just combined.
Step 7
Add milk one tablespoon at a time to bring the dough together if it feels too dry.
Step 8
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball for spreading.
Step 9
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to about 1cm thickness.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
