Preheat 180 degree C (360 degree F) for 15 minutes. Then make very small balls, dust them in the dessicated coconut to coat them well. Place on a greased cookie sheet or baking tray at a distance of 1 1/2 inches, giving them space to bake. Bake for 15 minutes or till cookies turn nice brown, at the same temperature.
