Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 egg (lightly beaten)
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
1 ½ cups plain flour (all purpose flour)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup desiccated coconut
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons treacle
1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius / 355 degrees fahrenheit, fan-forced).
Grease three baking trays.
Cream the butter and sugar.
Add egg, treacle and vanilla extract and mix well.
Add milk and sift in all of the dry ingredients except the coconut. Mix well.
Now add the coconut and mix again.
Form into small balls and place on a well greased baking tray. Flatten slightly with the top of your fingers if you prefer a flatter cookie.
Bake for 10 minutes or until a golden colour.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes on the trays before transferring cookies to a wire cooling tray.
