COCONUT BISCUITS

Old recipe but the best.

250 g butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 ½ cups desiccated coconut
1 cup castor sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups cake flour

Cream the butter and sugar until well blended.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
Add the rest of dry ingredients to make a soft dough.
Take caution whilst adding the flour; add a little at a time until you get the perfect biscuit dough.
Roll out and use a cutter to make shapes.
Transfer to a baking sheet and bake the biscuits at 180ºC for 12 to 15 minutes.
