INGREDIENTS
- 250g Butter
- 250ml (1 CUP) Sugar
- 625ml (2 1½ CUPS) desiccated Coconut

HOW TO MAKE ROMANY CREAMS
Preheat your oven to 180°C/355°F and grease or line 2 baking trays.
In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, add the butter and cream it for a few minutes. Add the sugar while continuing to cream these two ingredients together. Add the coconut and mix together.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a separate mixing bowl. Then add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Using your hands or mixer on a low speed, mix all these ingredients until combined. The dough will fall apart, so knead the dough until it all comes together and forms a soft dough.
Using a teaspoon measurement, roll balls of dough and place them evenly onto your baking trays. Take a fork and lightly press down each ball of dough.
Bake the biscuits for about 10-12 minutes. They will still be soft when you remove them from the oven.
Transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
While they are cooling, you can melt your chocolate in the microwave or over a steaming pot of water on the stove. Allow the melted chocolate to cool a little before spreading it onto one side of a biscuit. Take another biscuit and sandwich them together. Let the chocolate cool and harden and then they are ready to be eaten!!
