Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (160 g) desiccated coconut
- ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
Wet Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Garnish:
- Sprinkles or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 180C (350F) and creating a non-stick surface with parchment paper or silicone mat on the baking tray.
- Create a unified mixture by combining shredded coconut, flour, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Incorporate melted butter, condensed milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, gently folding until a cohesive dough forms. If desired, carefully integrate sprinkles or chocolate chips throughout the dough.
- Form compact, uniform biscuits by scooping approximately one tablespoon of dough and rolling into gentle spheres, then delicately flattening each using hands or a smooth utensil.
- Arrange the shaped biscuits on the prepared baking surface, maintaining adequate spacing to prevent merging during baking.
- Position the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until edges transform into a warm, golden-brown hue.
- Remove from oven and allow biscuits to rest on the baking tray for five minutes, facilitating initial stabilization and preventing crumbling.
- Transfer biscuits to a cooling rack, permitting complete temperature reduction and texture refinement.
- Serve these delightful treats independently or accompanied by a refreshing milk beverage, perfect for children’s enjoyment.
Notes
- Consider using gluten-free flour for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy these delightful treats.
- Switch condensed milk with coconut cream for a lighter version that maintains the rich coconut flavor.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit to add extra texture and nutritional value.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container for up to 5 days, keeping them fresh and crisp for quick snacking moments.
