Coconut biscuits are a delightful treat that perfectly blends the crunchiness of biscuits with the tropical flavor of coconut. These biscuits are easy to make and are sure to be a hit with everyone, from kids to adults. Here’s a simple recipe to whip up a batch of homemade coconut biscuits:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Oven Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet gently or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. For this step, you can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer.

4. Add Vanilla and Egg: Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined. Then, add the egg and beat again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Though workable, the dough should be slightly sticky.

6. Shape the Biscuits: Take small portions of the dough and shape them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball as they will spread slightly during baking.

7. Bake: Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.

8. Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. To preserve freshness, put them in an airtight container once they have cooled.
