Ingredients:

• 125 grams of butter (softened at room temperature)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 heaped tablespoons cornstarch
• A little less than half a cup of vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 sachet vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 to 3.5 cups all-purpose flour

For filling:

• Nutella or your favorite jam

For the coating:

• 1 bowl of milk
• 1 bowl of grated coconut

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine softened butter, powdered sugar, cornstarch, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract and baking powder. Mix these ingredients well until well combined and smooth.

2. Form the dough:
   • Gradually add the flour to the mixture and knead until you have a soft, non-sticky dough. The dough should be soft and easy to work with. Once ready, divide the dough into small balls of equal size.
3. Shape and cook:
   • Flatten each ball slightly with your hand and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you prefer thinner cookies, press the dough balls a little more. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 170°C (338°F) until the bottoms are golden brown, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely before moving on to the next step.
4. Assemble the cookies:
   • Once the cookies are cooled, spread a generous amount of Nutella or jam on the flat side of one cookie and alternate it with another. Continue until all the cookies are paired.

5. Coat the biscuits:
   • Briefly dip each cookie sandwich in the bowl of milk, then roll in the shredded coconut until completely coated. The coconut will stick to the surface, adding delicious texture and flavor.
6. Serve and enjoy:
   • Arrange the cookies on a serving platter and enjoy with a hot beverage or as a treat throughout the day. These cookies are best when fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
