Critical Success Points
- • Cream the butter with the sugar until a very creamy texture is achieved.
- • Do not overwork the dough after adding the flour.

- • Toast the coconut quickly to prevent burning.
- • Melt the chocolate in a bain‑marie to avoid overheating.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle the hot oven (170 °C).
- • Be careful with the hot pan when toasting the coconut.
