125g unsalted butter, at room temperature, chopped
1/2 tsp coconut essence
1/4 cup icing sugar
3/4 cup plain flour
1/4 cup cornflour
Choc-coconut filling
100g milk chocolate,
chopped
1 x 50g Bounty bar, chopped
Place butter, coconut essence and icing sugar in the bowl of
an electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy. Stir in combined sifted flours
in two batches.
Roll heaped teaspoons of mixture into balls and place, 3cm apart, on three baking-paper lined oven trays. Using the back of a fork dipped in flour, press down on
each ball to flatten slightly.
Cook in a moderately slow oven (160°C) for about 12 minutes, or until cookies are firm. Stand on trays
for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Place
chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
Stir until melted. Remove from heat. Add chocolate bar. Return to heat and stir
until melted. Remove from heat. Stand for 5 minutes.
Sandwich cookies together with 1
tsp of the filling.
