Coconut and Chocolate Biscuits


  • Author: Louise
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150g butter
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ½ cup icing sugar, plus a little extra for sprinkling
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup cooking chocolate, chopped up

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
  2. Cream the butter in an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Now add the rest of the ingredients and mix well until the ingredients form a large ball of dough.
  4. Now, break off small pieces of dough and roll them into bite-sized balls (with your hands) and place on a greased baking tray. Continue to do that until all the dough has been used up. I got about 20 balls out of my mixture.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C. (until just turning brown)
  6. Take the biscuits out the oven and sprinkle with a little icing sugar.
  7. Once the biscuits have cooled (+- 30 minutes), melt the chocolate – I melted mine in the microwave which took 2 minutes but if you prefer melting the chocolate in a double boiler then do it that way.
  8. Dip each biscuit into the chocolate so that it covers half the biscuit. Place the biscuit on a piece of wax paper and allow the chocolate to dry.
