Step 1

Firstly, cream softened butter and sugar till white and fluffy (5-10 minutes).

Step 2

Next, add the egg, oil and vanilla and beat well until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Then sift in the baking powder, cocoa powder and coconut.

Step 4

Then add your flour. First add about 380g (2 and 1/2 cups) and see if the dough comes together (shouldn’t be too soft to roll and should start pulling away from the sides of a stand mixer). Add a little more at a time if necessary.

Step 5

Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.

Step 6

Once chilled preheat your oven to 180C and roll out the dough on a floured work surface with a floured rolling pin or between two pieces of plastic wrap (much easier!). Scrape with a fork vertically and horizontally to create a textured biscuit. The dough might look a mess at this stage but will lose some texture when baking so create a good amount of texture with your fork.

Step 7

Cut into circles and bake at 180C for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Cool completely and add melted chocolate to the flat side of half of the biscuits. Sandwich and dust with edible glitter (optional).

Step 9

Alternatively, dip half the biscuit in melted chocolate and decorate with freeze dried raspberries and pistachios.
