Ingredients :

• 125 gm.  butter, softened
• 100 gm.  sugar
• 1 egg
• 200 gm.  flour
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 75 gm.  candied fruits, diced
• 40 gm.  desiccated coconut
• 1 egg white

Method :

• In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt. Keep aside.
• In another bowl,  beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 
• Add the egg & vanilla and beat again.
• Stir in flour mixture, mix until dough forms.
• Stir in candied fruits.
• Halve the dough. On a lightly floured surface, form each half into a log. 
• Chill logs, wrapped in wax paper or cling film, 1 hour or until firm.
• Preheat oven to 175 ° C. Line the baking sheet with baking paper. 
• Spread coconut on a board or plate, brush the dough logs with egg white and coat with the coconut.  
• Again chill about 10 minutes.
• Cut logs into 1/4 inch thick slices with a knife and place about 1 inch apart on baking sheet. 

• Bake cookies in middle of oven until golden, about 12 - 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. 
• Keep in an airtight container. 

Note : 

• This is a very soft dough, don't be tempted to add extra flour. Once the dough is chilled, it is very easy to handle. 
• I tinted the coconut to add more color to these cookies. To tint coconut, add a few drops of liquid food coloring to coconut in a jar or plastic bag. Shake until evenly tinted. Spread the colored coconut on paper towels to dry.
• They are best served the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
