Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium or large bowl, mix together the wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats, toasted coconut, salt, brown sugar, and baking soda.
  3. Cut the butter into small pieces and throw it into the bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it begins to resemble breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the milk 1 Tbsp at a time. Using a wooden spoon, until the mixture begins to come together. Once you have large clumps of dough, use your hands to bring it into a large ball.
  5. Either between two sheets of parchment paper or on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it’s about 1/4″ thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles and line the biscuits on the prepared baking sheets. Dock with a fork and bake about 9-12 minutes, until the bottom and edged turn golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  6. Melt 3/4 cup bittersweet or dark chocolate chips. (In a microwavable bowl, heat them on high 30 seconds at a time, occasionally stirring, until melted). Drizzle chocolate over the biscuits.
Recipe Notes

To toast the coconut: preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Spread the shredded coconut on baking sheet and bake for about 7-9 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes as it starts to darken. This can also be done in a skillet if you prefer to toast your coconut on the stove top.

* If you don’t want to use your hands to cut the butter into the dry ingredients, you can always use a pastry blender or two knives–either should do the trick.

* You can use any milk you’d like in these. My personal preference is Almond Milk but that might not be for everyone! Feel free to make them your own!
