Cook time15 min

Pre heat oven to 170C.
Place sugar in a bowl and add the eggs one at a time beating well. Beat mixture until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla sugar and melted butter to mixture and beat until combined. Now put the mixer down and get ready to use your hands.
Add the shredded coconut, and flour and mix well with your hand making sure all ingredients are well combined. Let mixture sit a little bit for the dry ingredients to absorb the wet. The mixture should stick to a spoon. If too watery you can a little more flour and coconut.
Place baking paper down on flat trays and scoop tablespoons of the mixture onto the trays allowing enough room for some spreading. Place a glazed cherry on top and place into oven until they turn a light golden brown.
Petifours should have a crisp outside with a chewy moist centre.
