Milky Coconut Biscuits for Kids

Ingredients

  • 1 cupall-purpose flour: Provides the base structure for the biscuits.
  • 1/2 cupshredded coconut: Adds sweetness and texture; opt for unsweetened varieties for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 cupsugar: Sweetens the biscuits; consider using coconut sugar for a caramel-like flavor.
  • 1/4 cupbutter: Contributes richness and aids in creating a crumbly texture; can be replaced with a dairy-free butter substitute for vegan versions.
  • 1large 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.)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an evenly baked biscuit.

  2. 2

    Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the biscuits from sticking and make cleanup easier.

  3. 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. 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. 5

    Add the egg: Beat in 1 large egg until fully combined with the butter and sugar mixture.

  6. 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. 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. 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. 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.
