Ingredients

  • 280 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 120 g Coconut, flakes

  • 150 g Butter, unsalted

  • 100 g Sugar, white

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 120 g chocolate, dark

  • 1 teaspoon Oil, vegetable oil, canola

Steps

  1. In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Mix the sifted ingredients well. Add the cubed butter, coconut flour, sugar, and egg, and quickly knead the ingredients into a uniform dough. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for one hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Thoroughly clean the work surface and lightly flour it. Roll the dough into a long log and cut it into equal pieces with the blunt side of a knife. Shape the dough pieces into crescents with cold hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until they turn a delicate golden brown.

  3. Meanwhile, melt the chopped chocolate with oil in a double boiler. Dip the ends of the baked crescents into the melted chocolate. Place them on parchment paper and let them sit until the chocolate completely hardens.
