Coconut Biscuits

I can't claim, that these are the perfect coconut biscuits, but they are pretty close, if that ideal biscuit exists at all. I came up with the recipe last night on a whim and the first batch were by midday today polished, so I made another batch, with a few improvements.

Ingredients: 

• 40 g coconut oil
• 60 g sugar
• 20 g coconut shreddings
• 1 egg
• 100 g flour
• 5 g baking powder
• 1 lemon zest
  

Preparation:

There  isn't really much to it - melt the coconut oil, add the sugar, the shredded coconut, the lemon zest, the egg, the flour and the baking powder. The resulting batter is sticky, but because of the high content of oil, very easy to form into small balls. Place them on a baking tray, leaving enough space between each ball and bake for 25 min in a preheated oven at 180C.

The resulting biscuits are flat, very crunchy, aromatic, not too sweet. They can be eaten as they are or as a biscuit sandwich with jam in between. I find them perfect for coffee, but they go well as a desert with a glass of desert wine as well :)
