Coconut Biscuits
Coconut Biscuits are small baked treats made from unsweetened desiccated coconut, caster sugar, and eggs. The mixture forms soft dough balls that bake into lightly browned, chewy coconut cookies. These biscuits highlight the natural coconut flavor and a sweet texture while requiring minimal ingredients and simple preparation.

Notes
- Use unsweetened desiccated coconut rather than shredded coconut or flakes for correct texture and flavor.
- If the mixture is too soft to shape, add more coconut or chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before shaping.
- To remove biscuits from the tray without breaking, use a spatula to gently lift them after cooling.
