Ingredients

48 servings

  1. 300 g gluten-free / plain flour (2.5 cups)

  2. 1/4 tsp xanthan gum if using GF flour

  3. 100 g granulated sugar

  4. 45 g desiccated coconut (1/2 cup)

  5. 2 tbsp lime zest

  6. 1 tsp rum extract (or vanilla)

  7. 225 g Stork block margarine, cubed (1 cup)

  8. 4 tsp coconut milk or as required

  9. Glaze

  10. 250 g icing sugar / powdered sugar (2 cups)

  11. 1 tsp lime zest

  12. 1 tbsp lime juice

  13. 4 tbsp coconut milk or as required

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to gas 3 / 190C / 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

  2. Mix the flour, sugar, desiccated coconut, lime zest and extract together in a bowl then add the cubed margarine

  3. Rub in the margarine and knead until the dough comes together, adding up to 4 tsp of coconut milk as required. The dough should be smooth and dry – not sticky

  4. Shape dough into a ball, then divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough portions to about 1/4-inch thick

  5. Using a 2 inch round cutter, cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cutouts 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. You should get roughly 24 rounds from each dough half

  6. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes, or just until the bottoms start to brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool

  7. Mix the glaze ingredients together using just enough coconut milk to form a thick paste and ice the cookies, sprinkling extra zest on top to decorate if you like

  8. They’ll keep well in a lidded container for 3 or 4 days
