  1. preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
  2. combine sugar, coconut, plain flour, baking powder, vanilla, butter and egg in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer.
  3. on two lined baking trays, roll dough into small balls. using the back of a teaspoon, make an indent in the centre of the cookies. fill with about 1/4 teaspoon on jam.
  4. bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. cool completely (hot jam burns!!) and serve. will keep in an airtight jar in the pantry for about 5 days.
