Chocolate Wreaths

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Place butter, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until pale and creamy. Slowly add flours, cocoa and baking powder until mix is combined. Remove to a lightly floured surface and bring together with your hands.

Step 3

Roll mixture out to 5mm thickness and cut into rounds using a 6cm round fluted cutter. Then using a 2cm round cutter, remove the centre of the rounds. Place onto tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Bake for 20 minutes and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough until all has been used.

Step 4

Place coconut in a plastic bag with food colouring, shake until coconut is well coated. Spread biscuits with melted chocolate, sprinkle with green coconut and decorate with red decorations.
