In this video tutorial I am going to share with you this delicious coconut biscuit recipe with marshmallow frosting and sprinkled with desiccated coconut.

They are quick and simple to make and taste amazing.

Ingredients

• 150 grams softened butter
• 150 grams caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 300 grams plain flour
• Optional : a few drops of Foodie Flavours Coconut. You can buy it via this link (https://amzn.to/2wUITtl)

Marshmallow Frosting

• 150 grams marshmallows
• 90 grams unsalted butter
• 95 grams icing sugar
• some desiccated coconut (to sprinkle on top)

Method

• Cream the butter and sugar together
• Add the vanilla extract and the few drops of Foodie Flavours coconut and mix
• Add the egg and mix
• Add the flour and salt and mix well into a dough ball.
• Put the dough in cling film, and flatten it, put it in the fridge until it firms up and becomes easy to roll
• Dust your work surface with flour and roll out your dough then cut out your shapes with a biscuit cutter
• Gather up all remaining dough and shape into more biscuits until all your dough is used up
• Put them on a baking tray with some baking paper or silicone baking mat (https://amzn.to/2IyK6Ys) (affiliate))and put them in the fridge to firm up before baking.
• Ten minutes before they are ready preheat the oven to 180 Celsius and then bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes. Check on them so that they do not brown too quickly
• Put the biscuits on a cooling rack to cool completely

While the biscuits are cooling make the marshmallow frosting

• Put the marshmallows and butter in a bowl and melt them in the microwave. Do it in bursts of about 5 seconds at a time.
• If you do not have a microwave put the bowl of marshmallow and butter over a pot of boiling water and stir until melted. The bowl must not touch the bottom of the pot.
• Mix the butter and melted marshmallow together
• Add in the icing sugar and mix until smooth
• When they cool down you can now decorate them with the marshmallow frosting
• Spread the marshmallow on top of the biscuits and then sprinkle some dessicated coconut on top
• Leave to set and serve
