Equipment

Mixing bowls
Electric mixer
Baking trays
Parchment paper
Wire cooling rack
Small saucepan for melting chocolate

Ingredients

500 g butter (softened)
1 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 unit egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
125 g cocoa powder
450 g smooth melted chocolate
2 cups dried coconut (medium shred)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla essence to the mixture, and mix until fully combined.
Sift the cake flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the wet mixture and fold gently until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out small portions of dough, roll them into balls, and flatten each ball slightly.
Arrange the cookies on the prepared trays, leaving space between each.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Spread melted chocolate on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another.
Roll the edges in grated coconut and let them sit until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

Use room-temperature butter for easier creaming.
Toast the coconut lightly for extra flavor.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze individually wrapped for three months.
A sprinkle of sea salt on the chocolate gives a delightful contrast to the sweetness.
