Ingredients
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams softened low-fat margarine
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened low-fat margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the margarine mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a dough forms.
Step 6
Using a teaspoon, scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
