Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, work the softened butter with the icing sugar until you get a smooth cream.
- Add the egg yolks, vanilla and orange blossom water, then mix.
- Stir in the coconut, flour, baking powder and pinch of salt until you get a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
- 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.
- Place them on the tray, brush the tops with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with slivered almonds if you like.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
- 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.
