Coconut Butter Cookies

These delicious coconuty cookies are crisp at the edges, and perfectly chewy in the middle. Anyone who likes the aroma and taste of coconut is sure to love these buttery, and easy to make cookies.

150 g Butter, at room temperature
50 g Sugar
90 g Eggs
50 g All-purpose flour
30 g Potato starch
170 g Dried coconut shreds

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add in eggs and continue beating until well-mixed.
Sift in the flour and potato starch and mix. Add in 160 grams of coconut shreds and mix until just combined. Wrap and chill the mixture for 1-2 hours.
Shape the mixture into 27-30 small balls and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle the top with the rest of coconut shreds.
Bake in a preheated 180C/350F oven for about 22-25 minutes until lightly golden brown.
