Coconut Biscuits - like Anzac

Ok, so I have had a very busy day. I hope everyone has had a great weekend, I certainly have. Saturday was a made up of a visit to the markets followed by all the mundane things like housework and folding washing that dried in the sunshine the day before.
Then today, I made plans to bake, and go to a SeedSavers meeting....it was to  be my first meeting and I met the ladies through a stall they held at the markets....we chatted at the stall and they invited me to come along to the meeting..and bring whatever seeds I would like to share.....that will have to be a post of its own, so stay tuned for that one..........

Baking got off to a late start today, because I made a few mixes....another post......then I began making the large mix of these yummy biscuits. Instead of typing out the recipe here, I thought you may like the written form....Unfortunately I cannot remember who gave me this recipe, as I have had it many years....and made it many times too.

Here is the recipe for Coconut Biscuits.....Makes 200



I have made up all the recipe, but only baked enough for now......the rest I have placed onto a tray, pressed with a fork then froze them, for baking another day.

After my boys noses lead them to the kitchen, then everyone tasting the biscuits...including hubby....this is what I baked and also the ones I will freeze...I don't think it would have been 200 but it may be close.


 


They are so yummy....and I get to bake them again, without making up the recipe again. 


Although I am not sure I should defrost them or if I can put them in the oven frozen yet, I will need to experiment as I have never done it before....but if it works, it will certainly be worth it.


Come back later so you can read all about my SeedSaver meeting, and the mixes I made earlier.

  1. Great idea to do it like that Nelly Mary. I've done it before and have baked from frozen. For easy storage in the freezer, I sometimes like to freeze it in a 'log' shape and when ready to bake, slice off and place directly onto tray.

    Looking forward to your other posts.

  2. Hey Anne--in the USA they sell Slice 'n Bake cookie dough just like that in supermarkets! In a log. I can't get it over here in South Africa. So, I bake from scratch. But, sometimes I long for the ole Slice 'n Bakes from my childhood.

    Narelle, I'm sure you'll be able to bake the frozen cookie dough rounds once they thaw out. I'm making a note of your recipe and will try it out soon.

  4. those look delicious! I often freeze cookie dough in a log and then slice off as needed. very convenient. I find it is better to defrost a little bit to make the cutting easier and then they cook right up perfectly very time.

  5. If only I am not allergic to coconut! Just wanted to pop in and let you know your recipe for sweet n sour sauce is up. You inspired me to post it. I hope all is well with you. I have not found much on celery soup. I will keep looking.
