Description

Try Milky Coconut Biscuits for Kids—soft, sweet, and coconut-flavored treats that are perfect for little ones to enjoy as a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour: Provides the base structure for the biscuits.
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut: Adds sweetness and texture; opt for unsweetened varieties for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 cup sugar: Sweetens the biscuits; consider using coconut sugar for a caramel-like flavor.
  • 1/4 cup butter: Contributes richness and aids in creating a crumbly texture; can be replaced with a dairy-free butter substitute for vegan versions.
  • 1 large egg: Binds the ingredients together; a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) can serve as a substitute for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder: Helps the biscuits rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt: Enhances flavor and balances sweetness.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an evenly baked biscuit.
  2. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the biscuits from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk them together until well-blended.
  4. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  5. Add the egg: Beat in 1 large egg until fully combined with the butter and sugar mixture.
  6. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  7. Scoop the dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges. The centers may remain soft.
  9. Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
