  • 2 tbsps milk powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut desiccated

  • 3/4 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 180xb0 C.
  • Keep a baking tray ready, lined with silicone mat or a greased tin foil or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except butter and milk, until well combined.
  • Add the butter pieces and with finger tips rub the mixture together until it feels like bread crumbs.
  • Add milk 1 tbsp at a time and knead gently till it comes together like a dough.
  • Divide into 24 equal balls, rolling each between lightly greased palms.
  • Lightly press into a disc and place on the lined baking tray, leaving some space between each disc so that there's place for cookie to expand.
  • Sprinkle a few crystals of sugar on top of each cookie. This is optional. You could stick a rosemary leaflet on each cookie instead.
  • Bake for 12 mins or until the tops turn lightly golden. Remove on a wire rack and cool. The cookies will crisp up on cooling. Save in airtight container.

Notes

You can substitute rosemary with fresh or dried thyme for a different flavour.
