    You may add a little vanilla extract to add a nice flavour and aroma.

    Chocolate chips make a good addition to the coconut biscuit recipe, it would be eye-appealing for kids.

    For the vegan version, substitute milk with coconut milk and butter with vegan butter/ coconut oil. However, you may have to use a little more or less milk to make dough depending on the type of butter or oil you use.

    Can we freeze these eggless coconut cookies?

    Yes, you can. Once the cookies are completely cooled down, arrange them in a baking tray ensure they don't touch each other. Keep the tray in the freezer for 2-3 hours until cookies are frozen solid. Take out the tray, wrap each cookie tightly in a plastic wrap, transfer to an airtight container or bags and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    To thaw cookies, take them out of the freezer and let sit on the counter at room temperature. You can gently reheat thawed cookies to retain the taste and texture.

    Tips and Tricks

    It is essential to use butter that is softened to room temperature. With softened butter, the fat can be easily creamed together with sugar and also helps butter coconut cookies to cook evenly.

    Just a pinch of salt acts as flavour enhancer and elevates the taste of biscuits, do not add it if you use salted butter.

    Resting the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes is an important step and absolutely necessary to solidify the fat content to prevent biscuits from spreading while baking. resting also helps the flour to fully absorb moisture resulting in better texture and a consistent bake.

    Notes

    Let the crunchy coconut cookies cool down to room temperature before you store them in an airtight container. These crunchy coconut cookies stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature

    Depending on the quality of flour you may need a little bit extra or a little less milk. Do not add all of it at once, start with 1-2 tablespoon and then add more until the mixture comes together to form a thick dough.

    The number of atta biscuits you yield depends on the size and thickness of the cookies.

    Before you store in a freezer/airtight container, ensure cookies are cooled down completely to prevent condensation which makes cookies soggy.

    Do not add salt if you use salted butter.

    Ensure butter is softened to room temperature.

    Cup measurements are approximate, I would suggest weighing the ingredients and following metric measurements for accuracy.

    How to serve coconut biscuits?

    These are the perfect after-school snack to serve along with a glass of turmeric milk, pumpkin banana smoothie, strawberry banana milkshake or mango milkshake.

    Sweet biscuit is an ideal evening snack to enjoy with a cup of tea or rose milk tea.

      Hi there
      Made these eggless coconut biscuits today, they came out so amazing. As I am trying to cook more healthy than I am at the moment I used Whole wheat spelt
      flour in mine I also realized that I did not need the milk. So I left it out. Love your videos especially those little fairy helping hands. Would like to learn how to make carrot jam as I had this in India was amazed that I did not even taste the carrot flavor.
