Craisin And Coconut Biscuits
I baked a batch of these simple biscuits last week to replenish my dwindling cookie supply. They were meant to be chewy cookies but I was preoccupied and left out the egg in the recipe. It turned out to be a good thing. The omission of egg actually made these biscuits crunchy and they lasted longer without going soggy. The craisins looked beautiful and the coconut added a lovely texture to the biscuits. Chilling is a must as there is virtually nothing binding the dough together other than the butter and maybe a wee bit of cornstarch present in the icing sugar.
