Tips for Making Coconut Biscuits:

  • If you don't have unsweetened shredded coconut, you can use sweetened shredded coconut and reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will dry them out.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
