Title: Coconut biscuits with coconut oil instead of butter?
Post by: missgrunge on March 05, 2011, 01:09:25 am: Hi,
Does anyone have a recipe for making wonderful crisp coconut biscuits for my DH, using tasty coconut oil instead of butter?
Thank you in anticipation! :)
Miss G

If you have a good recipe just replace butter with the oil. You might have to set up the mix in the fridge before you form them. Will have a go when the visitors leave.

I just substitute coconut oil in place of butter quite often and never had any problems with it before. Any nice recipe should work well with coconut oil instead of butter.
Are you after something specific? I bet Jo from Quirky Cooking has some beautiful ones!

Do you think I just substitute the oil for butter weigth-for-weight in an existing recipe?
Thanks,
M.

Other than that it sounds easy and yummy! ;)

Thanks,
Miss G

Yep, I just substitute weight for weight with butter/coconut oil
I guess at the end of the day, they are both just a source of fat for the recipe.....
I buy coconut oil in massive amounts now i.e 5kg at a time - I use it for everything from skin lotions,deoderant to cooking - LOVE it!
I should be living in a south pacific island somewhere :)
