Recipe Tips

  • Use a room-temperature egg: A room-temperature egg will blend more easily into the mixture, giving you a smoother dough.
  • Don’t overmix the dough: Mix the ingredients until just combined to keep the biscuits light and tender.
  • Grease your tray well: To prevent the biscuits from sticking, Ensure the tray is greased or lined with parchment paper.
  • Check your oven temperature: Ovens vary, so start checking the biscuits at 10 minutes to avoid overbaking them.
  • Cool completely before serving: Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack to firm up and achieve their perfect texture.

How To Store Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: Let the leftover coconut biscuits cool completely to room temperature. Then, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze: Once cooled, you can freeze the biscuits. Wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw at room temperature for 1–2 hours before enjoying.
