Steps

1

Preheat the oven at 350°F/180°C. Mix the 20gms sugar and desiccated coconut and set aside.
2

Sieve flour, baking powder and bicarbonate soda.
3

Rub in butter/margarine until the texture becomes that of bread crumbs.
4

Mix in sugar and desiccated coconut.
5

Add eggs and coconut flavor(optional) and mix to a stiff dough.
6

Roll out and cut into shapes.
7

Dust the cut outs in the sugar and desiccated coconut mix and place in a lined baking tray. I used parchment paper to line mine. This is optional as you can bake them as they are.
8

Put in oven and bake for 15-20 mins or until slightly brown.
9

Remove from oven to cool and enjoy.
