Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-forced). Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
2. Cream the caster sugar, butter and grated lemon zest together until pale and creamy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each.
4. Beat in the self-raising flour and desiccated coconut until combined.
5. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared trays, leaving 4–5 cm between each biscuit for spreading.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Leave on the trays for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the glaze, put the icing sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest in a microwave-safe bowl and stir. Add the butter and microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, then stir well.
8. Chill the lemon icing briefly until it firms up slightly.
9. Spread the glaze over the completely cooled biscuits, then sprinkle with extra desiccated coconut and grated lemon zest.
