Instructions
1
Toast the desiccated coconut in a dry pan over low heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside to cool.
2
Cream the softened butter and brown sugar together in a bowl until light and smooth, about 2 minutes by hand.
3
Beat in the egg yolk, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4
Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into the wet mixture and fold until just combined.
5
Fold in the toasted coconut and chopped cashew, then chill the dough for 20 minutes to firm up.
6
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
7
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and flatten each into a disc about 1.5cm thick on the sheet, spaced apart.
8
Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges turn golden brown but the centres remain soft.
9
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to firm up completely before serving.
