Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Divide the dough in half. Roll out each half into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over one of the rectangles.
-
Carefully roll up the dough, starting from the long side, into a tight log. Repeat with the remaining dough and coconut.
-
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Slice the chilled dough into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.

Allow the pinwheels to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
