Yes! While coconut gives the biscuits their distinctive flavour, you can omit it if you prefer. You can also substitute with ground almonds or another flavouring of your choice to add a different twist.
2. How can I store Nice Biscuits?
Store your Nice Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. If you want them to stay fresh longer, you can also refrigerate them for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Absolutely! Adding chocolate chips or chopped chocolate can give your Nice Biscuits an extra sweet treat. Just fold them into the dough before shaping the biscuits for a little extra indulgence.
4. Can I make these biscuits gluten-free?
Yes! You can substitute the plain flour with gluten-free flour to make a gluten-free version of these biscuits. Just be sure to check the measurements on your flour package, as gluten-free flour can vary in its texture and absorbency.
5. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and keep it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. This allows the flavours to develop even further, giving you even tastier biscuits.
