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.
  • Watch the baking to avoid over‑browning the cookies.
  • 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.
  • Melted chocolate is very hot: avoid splatters.
