Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, mix the cornstarch, flour, sugar, and shredded coconut.
-
Add the margarine and knead with your hands until you get a smooth, lump-free dough.
If it’s too soft, you can refrigerate it for 15 minutes. -
Shape small balls (about the size of a walnut) and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
-
Gently flatten each ball with a fork to give them shape.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 170–180°C (moderate heat) for 10–15 minutes, or until the bottom is just lightly golden.
They should not brown on top.
Tips:
-
Don’t overbake them, or they will become hard. The ideal texture is soft and sandy.
-
You can add a few drops of vanilla or lemon zest for extra aroma.
-
Store them in an airtight container once cooled to maintain their texture.
