Coconut biscuits

I got the idea for making coconut biscuits after a craving this afternoon, so I was searching recipes online and I found this coconut biscuit recipe from the BBC website and I thought I’d give it a try. I have changed the amount of sugar from the original as I thought it was too little, perhaps because the original calls for maple syrup to be added to serve but I did not have any nor would I do this…with this amount of sugar the biscuits were just sweet enough. The result is a delicious and coconutty biscuit that is crunchy outside and almost marsh-mallowy on the inside. They are quite filling though, but best of all they are incredibly easy to make and they will infuse your house with the sweet smell of coconut.

• Preheat the oven to 200C 
• Separate the eggs, and keep the whites
• Add the sugar in a large bowl and add the egg whites
• Whisk the egg whites and the sugar for a few minutes until it is combined and frothy. It will have a creamy white colour.
• Add the coconut and mix well
• Put some greaseproof paper on a baking tray, or alternatively grease the tray with some butter
• Place a large spoonful of the mixture to make a circle and spread to about 1cm in thickness
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
