Ingredients

  • 125 gram/1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp golden syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1 cup+ 2 tbsp cake wheat or all purpose flour
  • 150 gram milk or dark chocolate for sandwiching the biscuits

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Line two large cookies sheets with baking paper and set aside
  • Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Mix in the golden syrup and vanilla essence. Sift in the cocoa.
  • Mix in the coconut and add the flour, little bits at a time until you form a soft dough. Add the 2 tablespoons of flour or more only if required. Dough needs to be just soft enough to be rolled out
  • Divide the dough in halves. Roll one half out about 3mm thickness. Scrape the dough with a fork from top to bottom. Cut the dough into circles,3.5cm in diameter. Press the edges in a little to create an oval shape, if you wish
  • Place the biscuits, a little apart, on the cookie sheets and bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 17 minutes
  • Cool them on a wire rack. Melt 1/3 of the chocolate in a small bowl, in the microwave at 20 second increments. Doesn't have to be completely melted. Mix it all together.
  • Wait for the chocolate to cool slightly. Sandwich the biscuits with the chocolate
  • Store in an airtight container
