Coconut Biscuits Recipe with Dried Mango and Pineapple

This easy coconut biscuits recipe with dried mango and pineapple makes a deliciously chewy biscuit with a taste of the tropics. Not quite a coconut macaroon, nor an American cookie, this traditional Australian-style biscuit is the kind my nanna used to make for afternoon tea – yet with the addition of coconut, palm sugar, and dried mango and pineapple.

  • Using a teaspoon, spoon the biscuit mixture onto a tray lined with baking paper, evenly spacing the dollops.
  • Using your fingers, press each dollop down a little, shaping them into circles of around 5cm in diameter.
