Serves: Makes 20

Ingredients:

  • 125g Western Star Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, extra for coating
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam

Method:

Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and creamy, add egg and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy, turn speed to low and add sifted flour, baking powder and 1/2 cup coconut, beat until just combined into a soft dough.

Drop teaspoonfuls of biscuit mixture into extra coconut and roll to coat, remove and roll into balls. Arrange balls on a baking paper lined tray allowing 5cm for spreading between each biscuit.

Take the back of a wooden spoon and make a dent in the top of each ball, fill dents with a little jam taking care not to overfill. Bake biscuits at 170°C for 15 minutes until pale golden. Remove and cool on tray for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cooking Time: 15 Minutes

Hints:

Use your favourite flavoured jam for this recipe.

Biscuits will keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
