How pretty do these coconut and chocolate biscuits look? And they taste just as amazing, especially with a good cup of tea.
Ingredients
- 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
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- Cream the butter in an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Now add the rest of the ingredients and mix well until the ingredients form a large ball of dough.
- 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.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C. (until just turning brown)
- Take the biscuits out the oven and sprinkle with a little icing sugar.
- 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.
- 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.
