These biscuits contain a spectacular amount of browned butter and coconut making them a delicious mix between a chewy biscuit and buttery, lacy florentine. While the brown butter may take a little time to make and cool, it’s totally worth it as it lends the biscuits a lovely golden, nutty flavour. Note: the water is in the recipe to replace the water lost while browning the butter, and ensures the biscuits spread out evenly and are crispy.
