Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams softened low-fat margarine
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened low-fat margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the margarine mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a dough forms.
Using a teaspoon, scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
Gently flatten each ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
