Coconut Crunch Biscuits

How to Make Coconut Crunch Biscuits at Home

Do you love the crispy, coconut-flavored goodness of coconut crunch biscuits? If you’ve ever enjoyed Sobisco Biscuits and wanted to recreate that same delicious crunch at home, you’re in the right place! Making these biscuits is easier than you think, and you only need a few basic ingredients. Let’s get started!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup desiccated coconut

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons milk (if needed)

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and desiccated coconut. This will help evenly distribute the ingredients and give the biscuits their signature crunch.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

In another bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar until it turns light and fluffy. This step is important because it makes the biscuits soft yet crisp.

4. Combine Everything

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix gently until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to bring it together.

5. Shape the Biscuits

Take small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten them slightly and place them on the lined baking tray. Make sure to leave some space between each biscuit.

6. Bake to Perfection

Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

7. Enjoy Your Homemade Treat!

Once cooled, your Coconut Crunch Biscuits are ready to eat. Pair them with tea, coffee, or just enjoy them as a snack.

Tips for the Best Biscuits

  • Use Fresh Coconut: If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, try using freshly grated coconut instead of desiccated coconut.

  • Chill the Dough: If you want a more defined shape, refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking.

  • Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra twist.

Storing Your Biscuits

To keep your Coconut Crunch Biscuits fresh and crispy:

  • Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

  • Spread a thin layer of chocolate or peanut butter on top for an extra indulgence.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overmixing the Dough: This can make the biscuits tough instead of crispy.

  • Skipping the Chilling Step: Chilling helps the biscuits hold their shape and improves their texture.

  • Baking at the Wrong Temperature: Too high a temperature can burn the biscuits, while too low can make them undercooked.
