Ingredients:

• 4 oz/115 gm butter
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 beaten egg
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 cups coconut
• 1 cup sifted flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• pinch salt

Method:

Cream the butter and sugar and then add the egg and the vanilla essence. Combine the dry ingredients and add. Mix well. Put into teaspoon lots on to a cold, floured oven tray. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 180 C/350 F for about 10 minutes (if you are using a fan-forced oven  then you will need to lower the temperature by up to 10 degrees centigrade and/or adjust the time). Leave on a wire rack to cool and then store in an air-tight container.
