Preheat the oven at 350 F or 180 C for at least 10 minutes.

Mix 1 cup of plain flour, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Then, add the caster sugar and the melted butter. Mix together.

Add 2-3 drops of vanilla essence and 3/4 cup of desiccated coconut. Mix all of them well.

Add 2 tablespoon of milk. Stir and mix them. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a bit more milk.

Mix well using your hand. Then, put the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Line a baking tray with a baking paper on top and divide the dough into 20-22 equal small portions and make round shaped balls.

Flatten each ball a bit and put some cut almond on top for decoration.
