Ingredients:
butter, for greasing the baking tray
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
200g pain (all-purpose) flour
200g brown sugar
100g salted butter at room-temperature
2 medium eggs
60g coarsely-grated coconut
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 145ºC then grease a baking tray with butter and set aside.
Sift together the baking powder, cinnamon, salt and flour into a mixing bowl then set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly to combine after each addition. If the mixture looks like it might be splitting add a tablespoon of flour and beat to combine. Once both the eggs are incorporated fold in the coconut with a spatula, followed by the flour.
Taking two tablespoons at a time, make little mounds of the dough on the baking tray, leaving enough room to spread between them.
Transfer the baking tray to the centre of your pre-heated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until nicely golden brown.
Allow to cool on the baking tray for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
