How to make Coconut Biscuits with White Chocolate

Ingredients:

• 250 grams Butter or Margarine
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 cups Cake flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Vanilla essence
• 3 tbsp Milk
• 1 and 1/2 cup Dessicated coconut
• 200 grams White chocolate

Directions:

Start by creaming the butter until it’s soft and fluffy. Then, add the sugar and whisk until creamy. Introduce the sifted flour, salt, baking powder, and milk to form a biscuit dough. Fold in the dessicated coconut. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, score with a fork, and cut out shapes with a biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking tray and make a notch in each biscuit. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 12-15 minutes. Once cooled, melt the white chocolate to sandwich the biscuits together. The joy of making these treats lies in sharing—not only with family but maybe even checking out some delightful Easter-themed desserts for a holiday celebration.
