Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 75 grams Shredded coconut
• 100 grams Dried apricots, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.

Step 6

Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped dried apricots using a spatula.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop evenly sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.

Step 8

Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
