Ingredients:
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 59.40 gm brown sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 1 egg
  • 112.50 gm self raising flour
  • 125.00 ml plain flour
  • 28.05 gm desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 raspberry jam
  • 60g butter, softened
  • 112.50 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 2.20 gm vanilla essence
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced and prepare 3 baking trays with baking paper.
  • Whip butter, sugar, and essence with an electric mixer until fluffy. Incorporate egg and beat until combined. Sift flours over the mixture and stir to combine. Fold in coconut.
  • Shape heaped teaspoons of the mixture into balls and arrange them on trays with a 3cm space in between. Gently flatten each biscuit to 1cm thickness using a fork dipped in flour, creating a criss-cross pattern on top. Bake until light golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let them cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the buttercream: With an electric mixer, whip butter, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Assemble biscuits with 1 teaspoon jam and 1 teaspoon buttercream. Enjoy!
