Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 75 grams Shredded coconut
- 100 grams Dried apricots, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped dried apricots using a spatula.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop evenly sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
