Ingredients

  • 1 sweet tart pastry https://www.opengarage.com.au/sweet-tart-pastry/
  • 24 tsp strawberry or raspberry jam
  • 300 g soft icing sugar
  • 30 g cocoa powder
  • 50 ml boiling water
  • 200 g desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Generously grease a baking sheet with baking spray and set aside. 
  • Make sweet tart pastry as per recipe instructions.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and using a cookie cutter, cut rounds.
  • Place cookies on prepared greased baking tray.  Bake for 6-8 minutes, or golden in colour.
  • Allow the biscuits to cool to room temperature before stuffing.  Once cooled, place a small teaspoon of jam in the center of one of your solid biscuit rounds. Sandwich your biscuit together with the other half.
  • To make icing: Sift icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl. Add boiling water. Stir until smooth. If icing is too watery, add more icing sugar. If icing is too thick add more water.
  • Place coconut in a dish. Dunk each jam filled biscuit into the cocoa icing before tossing with coconut. Shake off excess. Place on a wire rack over a baking tray. Repeat with remaining biscuits, icing and coconut. Stand for 2 hours or until set. Serve.
