Whisk the margarine and powdered sugar until creamy, then add the vanilla sugar, egg yolk, and cinnamon; mix well. Combine the baking powder with the flour and cocoa powder; mix well. Finally, fold in the desiccated coconut. Using a piping bag, pipe 2-3 cm rounds onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 175 degrees Celsius on the middle rack for 10 minutes.
