Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, work the softened butter with the icing sugar until you get a smooth cream.
  3. Add the egg yolks, vanilla and orange blossom water, then mix.
  4. Stir in the coconut, flour, baking powder and pinch of salt until you get a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
  5. Shape into small balls about 3 cm wide, then gently flatten them with your palm or press a dip in the center with your thumb.
  6. Place them on the tray, brush the tops with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with slivered almonds if you like.
  7. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
  8. Let cool on a rack before dusting with icing sugar.

Variations and tips

Butter-free version. Replace the butter with the same amount of neutral oil for a slightly drier, crunchier texture.
