Heidesand with coconut and chocolate flakes and spelt flour

Melt the butter (it should still be slightly warm). Mix it with the sugar, salt, and vanilla sugar, then add the flour. Divide the dough in half. Knead one half with the desiccated coconut and shape it into a large log. Mix the other half with the chocolate flakes, flatten it slightly, and wrap the coconut roll in it, then roll it out into one or more even logs. A diameter of about 3 cm is ideal, and I’ve found that using aluminum foil works well. Chill for about 12 hours. Then cut the dough into slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. If the slices crumble a little, simply press them back into shape. Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes at 170°C (top/bottom heat). This dough is enough for 2 baking sheets.
