Coconut Cookie, or  stick.  So yummy not too sweet just perfect for a cup of coffee.  My soon to be mother In-Law seems to really like them.  They are simple, yet impressive!

1/4 cup of butter
1/3 cup of splenda/sugar
1 cup finely ground coconut
1/2 cup of almond meal
1 egg
and a pinch of salt.

Later you will need dark chocolate, about 100g to melt in the microwave.

First pre-heat the oven to  about 375F  200C. Next put the butter and the splenda/sugar in  bowl and mix till  creamy. It's better to have room temperature butter. Don't try to cheat with the microwave, its not the same no matter how many times you try. :(  Add the coconut, almond meal  egg and salt and blend really well.  Use your hands to roll. Like when you were a kid and made play dough snakes. I find 3 inches is as long as they should go. Longer than that and they break after baking.  Two inches is a good size, but there is no need to be exact. I like to flatten out the ends before putting them on a non-stick baking sheet because it keeps the ends from burning. Then pop them into the oven.  They will only need about 15 mins.  While they are baking I place the chocolate in a bowl and place it in the microwave for 2 mins. Then take it out stir and give it another min and repeat it till the chocolate is melted.   Once they are out of the oven place them on a cooling rack that is over  wax paper. Wait about 5-10 mins for them to cool, then using a spoon, drizzled the chocolate back and forth  to get the  stripy pattern.  Put them in the fridge to set the chocolate and YUM!
Muwah!
