Preheat your oven to 190 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line two trays with baking paper.
Place the butter and caster sugar into a bowl of an electric mixer and mix for 5 - 6 minutes or until pale and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs and mix to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder and desiccated coconut and mix until just combined.
Use a teaspoon to scoop up balls of the cookie mixture and place onto your prepared baking trays. Flatten the surface of the biscuits slightly and decorate with Smarties.
Place the trays into your pre-heated oven and bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the cookies are starting to turn golden.
Let the cookies cool on the trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

It is important to use butter which is at room temperature, as butter which is still chilled will not combine with the sugar.
The desiccated coconut can be substituted with flour, I suggest starting with ½ a cup extra.
If your mixture is too 'soft' add an extra tablespoon or two of flour.
Place the Smarties close to each other on the unbaked cookies, they will spread out as the dough expands during baking.
This recipe can be doubled.
Any unused dough can be frozen.
Store the cooked biscuits in an airtight container for up to seven days.
The cooked biscuits can also be frozen for up to two months.
