Ingredients
- 100 grams plain flour
- 100 grams butter, soften
- 40 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams desiccated coconut
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until you get a smooth paste.
- Add the egg and beat again.
- Sift in the flour, add the coconut and vanilla extract, and use a spatula to mix everything into a soft dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a kitchen foil, and roll it into a large sausage.
- Chill the roll for 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
- Transfer to the working surface and use a sharp knife to slice the sausage into approximately 1 cm thick rounds, I got 10 cookies.
- Line a baking tray with non-stick paper and transfer the cookies onto it.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for about 14-15 minutes or until the cookies are a light pale yellow colour.
- Leave to cool completely, then serve.

- I baked my cookies for 15 minutes until they got a slightly pale golden colour, but if you want a lighter shade, you can take them out once they are starting to firm up after 10-12 minutes. They do firm up further once you take them out of the oven anyway.
